Key mendelian variants [PDF]

Nature Genetics, 2015
Genetic comparison of the effects of mutant and wild-type alleles is a powerful way to define gene function. But those few disease-causing variants that provide qualitatively different insights into the disease mechanisms of more common sporadic diseases have the greatest translational value.

Mendelian and Non-Mendelian Ancestral Repair for Constrained Evolutionary Optimisation [PDF]

, 2013
Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) are excellent at solving many types of problems but are inherently ill-suited to solving constrained problems. Previously there has been four ways to adapt these algorithms to solve constrained problems - pareto optimal ...

Addressing the credibility crisis in Mendelian randomization

BMC Medicine
Background Genome-wide association studies have enabled Mendelian randomization analyses to be performed at an industrial scale. Two-sample summary data Mendelian randomization analyses can be performed using publicly available data by anyone who has ...

Mendelian randomization: Principles and methods [PDF]

Mendelian randomization (MR) is a methodology for evaluating causality in observational studies. MR tries to find the fact that genotypes are not susceptible to reverse causation and confounding based on Mendel's law of inheritance.

The effect of FTO variation on increased osteoarthritis risk is mediated through body mass index: a mendelian randomisation study

ObjectiveVariation in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene influences susceptibility to obesity. A variant in the FTO gene has been implicated in genetic risk to osteoarthritis (OA).

Moving Mendelian Randomization From Traditional Risk Factors to Molecular Targets for Drug Development and Clinical Trials in Nephrology

Kidney International Reports
Mendelian randomization leverages the random assortment of alleles at conception to investigate how genetically mediated changes in an exposure affect an outcome while minimizing concerns related to reverse causation and unmeasured confounding. Initially
