Harnessing confounding and genetic pleiotropy to identify causes of disease through proteomics and Mendelian randomisation – ‘MR Fish’
2024-07-11
Abstract excerpt
We propose an extension of the Mendelian randomisation (MR) paradigm (‘MR-Fish’) in which the confounded disease association of an index protein (‘the bait’) is harnessed to identify the causal role of different proteins (‘the catch’) for the same disease. Using C-reactive protein (CRP) as the bait, cis -MR analyses refuted a causal relationship of CRP with a wide range of diseases that associate with CRP in obser...
