Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages trait associated genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) to determine causal relationships in epidemiology. However, genetic IVs for complex traits are typically highly heterogeneous and, at a molecular level, exert effects on different biological processes. Exploration of the biological underpinnings of such heterogeneity can enhance our understanding...
