Abstract excerpt
Mendelian randomization (MR) has been widely used to infer causal relationships between exposures and outcomes in epidemiological studies. However, classical MR assumptions can be violated when genetic variants are associated with outcomes through pathways other than the exposure, leading to uncorrelated and/or correlated pleiotropy. Additionally, measurement error arising from the inherent uncertainty in summary...
