Orienting the causal relationship between imprecisely measured traits using GWAS summary data
Inference about the causal structure that induces correlations between two traits can be achieved by combining genetic associations with a mediation-based approach, as is done in the causal inference test (CIT). However, we show that measurement error in the phenotypes can lead to the CIT inferring the wrong causal direction, and that increasing sample sizes has the adverse effect of increasing...
متن کاملMendelian randomization studies of biomarkers and type 2 diabetes.
Many biomarkers are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk in epidemiological observations. The aim of this study was to identify and summarize current evidence for causal effects of biomarkers on T2D. A systematic literature search in PubMed and EMBASE (until April 2015) was done to identify Mendelian randomization studies that examined potential causal effects of biomarkers on T2D. To rep...
متن کاملRiVIERA-beta: Joint Bayesian inference of risk variants and tissue-specific epigenomic enrichments across multiple complex human diseases
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful approach for un11 covering disease-associated variants in human, but fine-mapping the causal variants 12 remains a challenge. This is partly remedied by prioritization of disease-associated vari13 ants that overlap GWAS-enriched epigenomic annotations. Here, we introduce a new 14 Bayesian model RiVIERA-beta (Risk Variant Inference using ...

متن کاملThe Relationship between Education and Health: Vector Error Correction Model (VECM)
Background & objectives: Despite the importance and impact of health and education on economic growth in countries, the causal relationship between education and health is important to policymaking. This study aimed to investigate the causality relationship between education and health in the short and long runs using the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) in Iran. Method: This was an analyt...
