Abstract excerpt
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a common analytic tool for exploring the causal relationship among complex traits. Existing MR methods require selecting a small set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to serve as instrument variables. However, selecting a small set of SNPs may not be ideal, as most complex traits have a polygenic or omnigenic architecture and are each influenced by thousands of SNPs. Here,...
