Mendelian randomization analysis on the impacts of age at menarche on adult height: A Taiwanese population study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUNDS: Ample evidence supports potential influence of age at menarche (AM) on adult height (AH), but multiple confounders may affect causal estimates. To address this issue, the Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to explore the causal impacts of AM on AH. METHODS: Using data (n = 57,349) from the publicly accessible Taiwan Biobank and randomly splitting them into 2 equal-size subsets, we...
