Interpreting Mendelian-randomization estimates of the effects of categorical exposures such as disease status and educational attainment

Laurence J. Howe et al.

Summary: This study discusses how to detect the effects of liability independently of exposure category using groups with invariant exposure. Using UK Biobank data, the study shows that educational attainment is associated with health and social outcomes independently of years in full-time education.

Mendelian randomisation approaches to the study of prenatal exposures: A systematic review

Elizabeth W. Diemer et al.

Summary: The study found that in the field of prenatal MR, research often discusses challenges that affect all MR studies, but rarely addresses specific issues such as selection during pregnancy and the effects of postnatal exposure. Future research in this area should focus on reporting and attempting to falsify assumptions, with particular attention to issues unique to prenatal MR. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of biases specific to prenatal MR in practice.

Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology Using Mendelian Randomization: The STROBE-MR Statement

Veronika W. Skrivankova et al.

Summary: The STROBE-MR Statement was developed to guide the reporting of MR studies by providing a checklist tailored to MR studies, which could improve the evaluation and interpretation of these studies by editors, peer reviewers, researchers, clinicians, and other readers.

The use of negative control outcomes in Mendelian randomization to detect potential population stratification

Eleanor Sanderson et al.

Summary: Mendelian randomization analysis assumes no association between genetic variants and outcomes other than through the exposure of interest, but population stratification can introduce confounding. Negative control outcomes are suggested for detecting potential confounding in MR studies. Regular use of negative control outcomes is recommended to detect population stratification in MR studies.

Risk factors mediating the effect of body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio on cardiovascular outcomes: Mendelian randomization analysis

Dipender Gill et al.

Summary: Through Mendelian randomization mediation analysis, it was found that reducing obesity can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by adjusting factors such as blood pressure, diabetes, lipid traits, and smoking. After adjusting for all mediators, the impact of obesity on the risk of cardiovascular disease is significantly weakened.

Detecting Heterogeneity of Intervention Effects Using Analysis and Meta-analysis of Differences in Variance Between Trial Arms

Harriet L. Mills et al.

Summary: Methods for assessing differences in variance in trial arms were described and applied to a single trial with individual patient data and to meta-analyses using summary data. The results indicated evidence of greater variance in the control arm, possibly due to higher mean outcome in the control arm.
