Genetic predictors of participation in optional components of UK Biobank

2020-02-10

Abstract excerpt

Large studies (e.g. UK Biobank) are increasingly used for GWAS and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. Selection into and dropout from studies may bias genetic and phenotypic associations. We examine genetic factors affecting participation in four optional components in up to 451,306 UK Biobank participants. We used GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with participation, MR to estimate effects of phenot...
