Taller height and risk of coronary heart disease and cancer: a within-sibship Mendelian randomization study

2021-07-19

Abstract excerpt

Taller people have lower risk of coronary heart disease but higher risk of many cancers. Mendelian randomization studies in unrelated individuals have suggested that these relationships are potentially causal. However, Mendelian randomization estimates from samples of unrelated individuals are sensitive to demography (population stratification, assortative mating) and familial (indirect genetic) effects. Height co...
