The role of smoking and alcohol in mediating the effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease on lung cancer: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Observational studies have suggested a positive association between gastroesophageal reflux disease and lung cancer, but due to the existence of confounders, it remains undetermined whether gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a causal association ...

Inference for Instrumental Variables: A Randomization Inference Approach

, 2018
The method of instrumental variables (IV) provides a framework to study causal effects in both randomized experiments with noncompliance and in observational studies where natural circumstances produce as-if random nudges to accept treatment ...

Causal relationship between air pollution, lung function, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: univariate and multivariate Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundThe association between air pollution, lung function, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains inconclusive. Previous studies were not convincing due to confounding factors and reverse causality. We

‘Mendelian randomization’ equals instrumental variable analysis with genetic instruments [PDF]

Statistics in Medicine, 2008
AbstractInterest in instrumental variable (IV) analyses using genetic instruments has been growing over the past 4 years. The background, strength and weaknesses of this approach, which in the epidemiology literature has been referred to as ‘Mendelian randomization’, has been recently reviewed by Lawlor et al. (Statist. Med. 2007. DOI: 10.1002/sim.3034)

Glucosamine supplementation contributes to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes: Evidence from Mendelian randomization combined with a meta-analysis

Journal of International Medical Research
Objective Observational studies on glucosamine supplementation and type 2 diabetes risk have shown inconsistent results, necessitating the use of Mendelian randomization to clarify the true causal relationship.

Genetically Determined Plasma Lipid Levels and Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy: A Mendelian Randomization Study. [PDF]

, 2017
Results from observational studies examining dyslipidemia as a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been inconsistent. We evaluated the causal relationship between plasma lipids and DR using a Mendelian randomization approach.

Statistical inference in two-sample summary-data Mendelian randomization using robust adjusted profile score [PDF]

, 2019
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a method of exploiting genetic variation to unbiasedly estimate a causal effect in presence of unmeasured confounding. MR is being widely used in epidemiology and other related areas of population science.

Rheumatoid arthritis and risk of lung diseases in East Asians and Europeans: Evidence from a Mendelian randomization study

SAGE Open Medicine
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis might increase the risk of lung diseases, such as interstitial lung disease and lung cancer. However, the causal relationships remained unclear.
