An Evaluation of Age-varying Genetic Effects underlying Body-mass Index and Blood Pressure in the UK Biobank
2025-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are conventionally conducted in cohorts spanning a wide age-range. These studies typically assume that genetic associations are constant across different ages. Some traits, however, may have age-varying genetic associations. This has implications for the interpretation of genetic effects derived in downstream applications, such as Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses. In thi...
