Abstract excerpt
Identification of pleiotropy at the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level provides valuable insights into shared genetic signals among phenotypes. One approach to study these signals is through mediation analysis, which dissects the total effect of a SNP on the outcome into a direct effect and an indirect effect through a mediator. However, estimated effects from mediation analysis can be confounded by the...
