Discovering off-target side-effects and drug repurposing candidates using expression perturbation data

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a genetic epidemiology method which utilises variants sourced from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to assess causality between risk/protective factors and disease outcomes in a manner less biased to observational studies(1). Read more
