Mendelian randomization with invalid instruments: effect estimation and bias detection through Egger regression

Jack Bowden, George Davey Smith, Stephen Burgess · 1 Apr 2015

BACKGROUND: The number of Mendelian randomization analyses including large numbers of genetic variants is rapidly increasing. This is due to the proliferation of genome-wide association studies, and the desire to obtain more precise estimates of causal effects. However, some genetic variants may not be valid instrumental variables, in particular due to them having more than…

‘Mendelian randomization’: can genetic epidemiology contribute to understanding environmental determinants of disease?*

George Davey Smith, Shah Ebrahim · 1 Feb 2003

Associations between modifiable exposures and disease seen in observational epidemiology are sometimes confounded and thus misleading, despite our best efforts to improve the design and analysis of studies. Mendelian randomization—the random assortment of genes from parents to offspring that occurs during gamete formation and conception—provides one method for assessing the causal nature of some environmental…

Cohort Profile: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS)

Yaohui Zhao, Yisong Hu, James P. Smith et al. · 12 Dec 2012

The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of persons in China 45 years of age or older and their spouses, including assessments of social, economic, and health circumstances of community-residents. CHARLS examines health and economic adjustments to rapid ageing of the population in China. The national baseline survey…

Avoiding bias from weak instruments in Mendelian randomization studies

Stephen Burgess, Simon G. Thompson · 16 Mar 2011

BACKGROUND: Mendelian randomization is used to test and estimate the magnitude of a causal effect of a phenotype on an outcome by using genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs). Estimates of association from IV analysis are biased in the direction of the confounded, observational association between phenotype and outcome. The magnitude of the bias depends…

Robust inference in summary data Mendelian randomization via the zero modal pleiotropy assumption

Fernando Pires Hartwig, George Davey Smith, Jack Bowden · 22 May 2017

Background: Mendelian randomization (MR) is being increasingly used to strengthen causal inference in observational studies. Availability of summary data of genetic associations for a variety of phenotypes from large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) allows straightforward application of MR using summary data methods, typically in a two-sample design. In addition to the conventional inverse variance weighting…
