Abstract excerpt
In Mendelian randomization, two single SNP-trait correlation-based methods have been developed to infer the causal direction between an exposure (e.g., a gene) and an outcome (e.g., a trait), called MR Steiger's method and its recent extension called Causal Direction-Ratio (CD-Ratio). Here we propose an approach based on R2, the coefficient of determination, to combine information from multiple (possibly...
