Please specify metabolites (exposure) and outcome of interest |

Two-sample Mendelian randomization uses genetic variants (SNPs) as instruments to estimate the causal effect of a metabolite on an outcome. Causal analysis is based on two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR) which leverages genetic variants such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
as instrumental variables (IV) to estimate exposure-outcome associations. The main steps as described below:
|
1. Select a metabolite (exposure) of interest |
|
Choose one metabolite (exposure) at a time; the list holds metabolites significant in any of the mGWAS studies. Due to its complex and computing intensive nature, MR analysis is performed with one metabolite/exposure at a time.
To increase the chance of identification of the genetically influenced metabolites, metabolites that have passed the
threshold in any of the mGWAS studies will be listed below.
You will be able to examine the detailed SNP-metabolite associations (studies, p-values, etc) in the next page.. |
