"Validity" in this context refers to the that a genetic instrument must satisfy to produce reliable, unbiased results. 🔬 Mendelian Randomization (MR) Report
MR uses genetic variants as "natural experiments" to determine if an exposure (like high blood pressure) truly causes a disease (like stroke), rather than just being associated with it. ⚖️ The Three Pillars of MR Validity Diseases - Mr Validity
