Bayesian network-based Mendelian randomization for variant prioritization and phenotypic causal inference.

Abstract excerpt

Mendelian randomization is a powerful method for inferring causal relationships. However, obtaining suitable genetic instrumental variables is often challenging due to gene interaction, linkage, and pleiotropy. We propose Bayesian network-based Mendelian randomization (BNMR), a Bayesian causal learning and inference framework using individual-level data. BNMR employs the random graph forest, an ensemble Bayesian...
