About

Mendelian randomization is a methodological approach in epidemiology and related fields that uses genetic variants as instrumental variables to infer causal relationships between a modifiable exposure and a disease or outcome. By leveraging the random assortment of alleles during meiosis, this method aims to mitigate confounding and reverse causation, thereby providing stronger evidence for causality compared to traditional observational studies.
