Genetic Instruments

Genetic Instruments is a set of genetic variants, typically single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that satisfy the assumptions of being associated with the exposure of interest, independent of confounders, and influencing the outcome only through the exposure, thereby serving as instrumental variables in causal inference within Mendelian Randomization studies.
