Systematic evaluation of multifactorial causal associations for Alzheimer's disease and an interactive platform MRAD developed based on Mendelian randomization analysis.

Abstract excerpt

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex degenerative disease of the central nervous system, and elucidating its pathogenesis remains challenging. In this study, we used the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) model as the major analysis method to perform hypothesis-free Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis on the data from MRC IEU OpenGWAS (18,097 exposure traits and 16 AD outcome traits), and conducted sensitivity...
