cit - Causal Inference Test

A likelihood-based hypothesis testing approach is implemented for assessing causal mediation. Described in Millstein, Chen, and Breton (2016), <DOI:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw135>, it could be used to test for mediation of a known causal association between a DNA variant, the 'instrumental variable', and a clinical outcome or phenotype by gene expression or DNA methylation, the potential mediator. Another example would be testing mediation of the effect of a drug on a clinical outcome by the molecular target. The hypothesis test generates a p-value or permutation-based FDR value with confidence intervals to quantify uncertainty in the causal inference. The outcome can be represented by either a continuous or binary variable, the potential mediator is continuous, and the instrumental variable can be continuous or binary and is not limited to a single variable but may be a design matrix representing multiple variables.

MR.RGM - Multivariate Bidirectional Mendelian Randomization Networks

Addressing a central challenge encountered in Mendelian randomization (MR) studies, where MR primarily focuses on discerning the effects of individual exposures on specific outcomes and establishes causal links between them. Using a network-based methodology, the intricacy involving interdependent outcomes due to numerous factors has been tackled through this routine. Based on Ni et al. (2018) <doi:10.1214/17-BA1087>, 'MR.RGM' extends to a broader exploration of the causal landscape by leveraging on network structures and involves the construction of causal graphs that capture interactions between response variables and consequently between responses and instrument variables. 'MR.RGM' facilitates the navigation of various data availability scenarios effectively by accommodating three input formats, i.e., individual-level data and two types of summary-level data. In the process, causal effects, adjacency matrices, and other essential parameters of the complex biological networks, are estimated. Besides, 'MR.RGM' provides uncertainty quantification for specific network structures among response variables.

SlopeHunter - Slope-Hunter: A ROBUST METHOD FOR COLLIDER BIAS CORRECTION IN CONDITIONAL GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES

Studying genetic associations with prognosis (e.g. survival, disability, subsequent disease events) is problematic due to selection bias - also termed index event bias or collider bias - whereby selection on disease status can induce associations between causes of incidence with prognosis. The Slope-Hunter approach adjusts genetic associations for this bias assuming that the contribution of the set of genetic variants affecting incidence only to the heritability of incidence is at least as large as the contribution of those affecting both incidence and prognosis.

CIVMR - Constrained Instrumental Variables in Mendelian Randomization with Pleiotropy

In Mendelian randomization (MR), genetic variants are used to construct instrumental variables that then enable inference about the causal relationship between a phenotype of interest and a response or disease outcome. However, valid MR inference requires several assumptions, including the assumption that the genetic variants only influence the response through the phenotype of interest.Pleiotropy occurs when a genetic variant has an effect on more than one different phenotypes, and therefore a pleiotropic genetic variant may be an invalid instrumental variable.Hence, a naive method for constructing an instrumental variables may lead to biased estimation of the association between the phenotype and the response. Here, we encode a new and intuitive method (Constrained Instrumental Variable method [CIV]) to construct valid instrumental variables and perform adjusted causal effect estimation when pleiotropic exists, focusing particularly on the situation where pleiotropic phenotypes have been measured. Our approach is theoretically guaranteed to perform an automatic and valid selection of genetic variants when building the instrumental variable. We also provide details of the features of many existing methods, together with a comparison of their performance in a large series of simulations. CIV performs robustly across many different pleiotropic violations of the MR assumptions.
