Mendelian randomization is an analytical method that uses genetic variants to overcome the confounding factors of observational studies. For Mendelian randomization analysis to be valid, several assumptions must be true: that genetic variants are associated with exposure; that there is no confounding relationship between the variant and the outcome; and that there are no effects of the variant independent of the outcome. Assuming these assumption are met, Mendelian randomization is a valuable tool in determining causality.
