Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A common assumption in two-sample summary-data Mendelian randomization (MR) studies is that the effect of an instrumental single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on both the exposure and the outcome is consistent across the exposure and outcome samples. This assumption is more likely to hold when the minor allele frequency (MAF) of the instrumental SNP is similar in the two samples. However, in the...
