The causal effect of educational attainment on Alzheimer’s disease: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study

2017-04-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Observational evidence suggests that higher educational attainment is protective for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is unclear whether this association is causal or confounded by demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. We examined the causal effect of educational attainment on AD in a two-sample MR framework. <h4>Methods</h4> We extracted all available effect estimates...
