Abstract excerpt
Multivariable Mendelian randomization has been largely applied to individuals of European ancestry, due to the larger sample sizes available in European GWAS. We introduce MRBEE-TL, one of the first multi-ancestry multivariable Mendelian randomization methods, which combines transfer learning with bias-corrected estimating equations to improve power in underpowered ancestries and to assess cross-ancestry...
