Introduction to Mendelian randomization

Annals of Clinical Epidemiology
Mendelian randomization (MR), i.e. instrumental variable analysis using genetic instruments, is an approach that incorporates population genetics to improve causal inference. Given that genetics are randomly allocated at conception, this resembles the randomization process in randomized controlled trials and hence is more resistant to unobserved ...

Bilirubin, Gallstones, and Mendelian Randomization [PDF]

JAMA Internal Medicine, 2013
Gallstonedisease causes a substantialhealthandeconomicburden in theUnited States andother developed countries.More than 6millionmen and 14millionwomen aged 20 to 74 years in the United States have gallbladder disease.1 Approximately 650 000 to 700 000 cholecystectomies are performed annually in the United States, and the costs associated with the ...

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RLIM Safeguards Oligodendrocyte Development and Myelination by Targeting SLC7A11 for Polyubiquitination to Regulate Ferroptotic Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RLIM‐mediated SLC7A11 polyubiquitination is required for SPTBN2‐mediated trafficking and membrane localization of SLC7A11, which enables oligodendrocyte precursor cells to be resistant to ferroptosis and safeguards oligodendrocyte lineage progression and thus myelination.

Harnessing Large‐Scale Multi‐Omics Data for Risk Prediction and Deep Phenotyping of Valvular Heart Diseases in the General Population

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale UK Biobank analyses identify clinical and proteomic signatures for early prediction of valvular heart disease and its subtypes. Proteins add predictive value for VHD, AVS, and MVR, with outcome‐specific compact panels showing translational potential. Multi‐layer evidence highlights matrix remodeling, protease regulation, immune inflammation,

Mendelian randomization while jointly modeling cis genetics identifies causal relationships between gene expression and lipids

Nature Communications, 2020
Mendelian randomization is a useful tool to infer causal relationships between traits, but can be confounded by the presence of pleiotropy. Here, the authors have developed MR-link, a Mendelian randomization method which accounts for unobserved ...

Mendelian randomization and pleiotropy analysis

Quantitative Biology, 2021
BackgroundMendelian randomization (MR) analysis has become popular in inferring and estimating the causality of an exposure on an outcome due to the success of genome wide association studies. Many statistical approaches have been developed and each of these methods require specific assumptions.ResultsIn this article, we review the pros and cons of ...

Large‐scale Whole‐Exome Sequencing Defines the Protein‐Coding Architecture of Retinal Structure, Visual Function, and Major Blinding Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale whole‐exome sequencing in 356,982 UK Biobank participants defines the protein‐coding architecture of retinal structure, visual function, and major blinding diseases. Pleiotropic genes, including CFI, C3, and RIOX1, bridge multiple retinal phenotypes, while experimental validation of FYB2 implicates RPE barrier dysfunction, providing ...

NSD2 Coordinates the Neurogenic‐to‐Gliogenic Transition via H3K36me2‐Dependent Activation of the EGFR‐ERK Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
NSD2 coordinates the neurogenic‐to‐gliogenic transition in the developing neocortex through H3K36me2‐dependent activation of EGFR–ERK signaling. Loss of NSD2 disrupts astroglial and oligodendroglial development, whereas ERK activation rescues gliogenic defects in vitro and in vivo.
