Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have often evaluated methods for Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis based on simulations that do not adequately reflect the data-generating mechanisms in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and there are often discrepancies in the performance of MR methods in simulations and real data sets. METHODS: We use a simulation framework that generates data on full GWAS for two traits...
