  • Evaluating the potential ro... Evaluating the potential role of pleiotropy in Mendelian randomization studies
    Hemani, Gibran; Bowden, Jack; Davey Smith, George Human molecular genetics, 08/2018, Volume: 27, Issue: R2
    Journal Article
    Peer reviewed
    Open access

    Abstract Pleiotropy, the phenomenon of a single genetic variant influencing multiple traits, is likely widespread in the human genome. If pleiotropy arises because the single nucleotide polymorphism ...

  • Orienting the causal relati... Orienting the causal relationship between imprecisely measured traits using GWAS summary data
    Hemani, Gibran; Tilling, Kate; Davey Smith, George PLoS genetics, 11/2017, Volume: 13, Issue: 11
    Journal Article
    Peer reviewed
    Open access

    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 ...

    Windmeijer, Frank; Farbmacher, Helmut; Davies, Neil ... Journal of the American Statistical Association, 07/2019, Volume: 114, Issue: 527
    Journal Article
    Peer reviewed
    Open access

    We investigate the behavior of the Lasso for selecting invalid instruments in linear instrumental variables models for estimating causal effects of exposures on outcomes, as proposed recently by Kang ...

  • Mendelian randomization wit... Mendelian randomization with invalid instruments: effect estimation and bias detection through Egger regression
    Bowden, Jack; Davey Smith, George; Burgess, Stephen International journal of epidemiology, 04/2015, Volume: 44, Issue: 2
    Journal Article
    Peer reviewed
    Open access

    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 ...
