Distinct pathway-based effects of blood pressure and body mass index on cardiovascular traits: comparison of novel Mendelian Randomization approaches

2023-10-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Mendelian randomization (MR) leverages genetic variants as instrumental variables to determine causal relationships in epidemiology. However, challenges persist due to heterogeneity arising from horizontal pleiotropy. On the other hand, exploration of the biological underpinnings of such heterogeneity across variants can enhance our understanding of disease mechanisms and inform therapeutic str...
