Mapping causal biology with Mendelian randomization in the big data era
Original: Mapping causal biology: Mendelian randomization in the era of big data
A new science news release highlights Mendelian randomization, a statistical method that uses genetic variants as natural experiments to infer whether biological risk factors truly cause disease, as it gains new power in the era of large genomic and biobank datasets. Researchers are increasingly applying the approach to distinguish genuine causal links from mere correlations in human biology and medicine.
Why now: Researchers are highlighting how huge genetic datasets are renewing interest in Mendelian randomization for establishing causal links in biology.
