Our focus is on MR methods that utilize GWAS summary statistics as input, as they do not require access to individual-level GWAS data and are widely applicable. Specifically, we consider 15 MR methods, including the standard IVW (fixed) and IVW (random) and 13 other advanced MR methods: Egger, RAPS, Weighted-median, Weighted-mode, MR-PRESSO, MRMix, cML-MA, MR-Robust, MR-Lasso, MR-CUE, CAUSE, MRAPSS and MR-ConMix (Figure A). The procedure for running the MR methods is outlined in Figure B. To assess the performance of these MR methods, we utilized real-world datasets and focused on three key aspects: type I error control, the accuracy of causal effect estimates, replicability and power (Figure C). -![My Image]() +![My Image](design.png) ## Datasets The five datasets used in the MR benchmarking study can be downloaded here.
