Evaluation of genetic markers as instruments for Mendelian randomization studies on vitamin D.
<h4>Background</h4>Mendelian randomization (MR) studies use genetic variants mimicking the influence of a modifiable exposure to assess and quantify a causal association with an outcome, with an aim to avoid problems with confounding and reverse causality affecting other types of observa...
