    Glossary Mendelian randomization

    uses genetic variations to infer causal relationships in biology

    Mendelian randomization is a research method that uses genetic variations to study the causal effects of a modifiable exposure (like diet or lifestyle) on a disease. By leveraging the random assortment of genes from parents to offspring, it mimics the design of a randomized controlled trial, helping to determine whether an observed association between a risk factor and a health outcome is likely to be causal rather than due to confounding factors.
