Salt intake showed no genetic causal link to gastric cancer risk. Read more on the Mendelian randomization findings.

Identifying lipid-linked genetic pathways in Asian Indians offers insights into diabetes and heart disease, crucial for ...

Mendelian randomization, a powerful tool in medical research, helps us understand whether certain factors truly cause disease. This technique uses genetic variations as "natural experiments" to reveal ...

Researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health have developed a novel computational pipeline designed to identify protein biomarkers associated with complex diseases, including ...

Mendelian randomization (MR) is transforming how scientists uncover causal links in health research by using genetic variants as natural experiments. Recent advances are tackling challenges like rare ...

The instrument variable assumptions imply that all trains leaving the departure station (genetic variant) and arriving at the destination (outcome) must pass through the exposure station. They can ...
