Extraversion is a relatively stable and heritable personality trait associated with numerous psychosocial, lifestyle and health outcomes. Despite its substantial heritability, no genetic variants have been detected in previous genome-wide association (GWA) studies, which may be due to relatively...

On the Use of the Lasso for Instrumental Variables Estimation with Some Invalid Instruments.

Journal of the American Statistical Association

Windmeijer F, Farbmacher H, Davies N, Davey Smith G.
PMID: 31708716
J Am Stat Assoc. 2018 Nov 13;114(527):1339-1350. doi: 10.1080/01621459.2018.1498346. eCollection 2019.

We investigate the behavior of the Lasso for selecting invalid instruments in linear instrumental variables models for estimating causal effects of exposures on outcomes, as proposed recently by Kang et al. Invalid instruments are such that they fail the...

Population phenomena inflate genetic associations of complex social traits.

Science advances

Morris TT, Davies NM, Hemani G, Smith GD.
PMID: 32426451
Sci Adv. 2020 Apr 15;6(16):eaay0328. doi: 10.1126/sciadv.aay0328. eCollection 2020 Apr.

Heritability, genetic correlation, and genetic associations estimated from samples of unrelated individuals are often perceived as confirmation that genotype causes the phenotype(s). However, these estimates can arise from indirect mechanisms due to population phenomena including population stratification, dynastic effects,...

Estimating the influence of body mass index (BMI) on mortality using offspring BMI as an instrumental variable.

International journal of obesity (2005)

Hyppönen E, Carslake D, Berry DJ, Power C, Davey Smith G.
PMID: 34497352
Int J Obes (Lond). 2022 Jan;46(1):77-84. doi: 10.1038/s41366-021-00962-8. Epub 2021 Sep 08.

OBJECTIVE: High body mass index (BMI) is an important predictor of mortality but estimating underlying causality is hampered by confounding and pre-existing disease. Here, we use information from the offspring to approximate parental BMIs, with an aim to avoid...

Confounding by ill health in the observed association between BMI and mortality: evidence from the HUNT Study using offspring BMI as an instrument.

International journal of epidemiology

Carslake D, Davey Smith G, Gunnell D, Davies N, Nilsen TIL, Romundstad P.
PMID: 29206928
Int J Epidemiol. 2018 Jun 01;47(3):760-770. doi: 10.1093/ije/dyx246.

BACKGROUND: The observational association between mortality and body mass index (BMI) is U-shaped, leading to highly publicized suggestions that moderate overweight is beneficial to health. However, it is unclear whether elevated mortality is caused by low BMI or if...

Exploring genetic markers of adult obesity risk in black adolescent South Africans-the Birth to Twenty Cohort.

PMID: 26075635
Nutr Diabetes. 2015 Jun 15;5:e157. doi: 10.1038/nutd.2015.7.

To date more than 90 loci that show an association with body mass index (BMI) and other obesity-related traits, have been discovered through genome-wide association studies. These findings have been widely replicated, mostly in European and Asian populations, but...

Testosterone and socioeconomic position: Mendelian randomization in 306,248 men and women in UK Biobank.

Science advances

Harrison S, Davies NM, Howe LD, Hughes A.
PMID: 34321204
Sci Adv. 2021 Jul 28;7(31). doi: 10.1126/sciadv.abf8257. Print 2021 Jul.

Men with more advantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) have been observed to have higher levels of testosterone. It is unclear whether these associations arise because testosterone has a causal impact on SEP. In 306,248 participants of UK Biobank, we performed...
