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

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 pleiotropy and linkage disequilibrium between instrumen...
