Evaluation of height as a disease risk factor through a phenome-wide association study of genetically-predicted height

2021-08-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Height has been associated with many clinical traits but whether such associations are causal versus secondary to confounding remains unclear in many cases. To systematically examine this question, we performed a Mendelian Randomization-Phenome-wide association study (MR-PheWAS) using clinical and genetic data from a national healthcare system biobank. <h4>Methods and Findings</h4> Analyses wer...
