概括
门德尔随机化使用遗传变异从观察数据推断因果关系,当试验是不可行的. 这种方法在肝病学研究中越来越多地使用,为暴露-结果关系提供了洞察力,例如体重指数和非酒精性脂肪肝疾病.
科学领域:
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 肝病学 肝病学是一种肝病学.
背景情况:
- 随机对照试验是因果关系的黄金标准,但往往是不可行的.
- 观测数据是广泛可用的,但建立因果关系是具有挑战性的.
- 门德尔随机化 (MR) 提供了一个强大的方法,可以从观测数据中推断因果关系.
研究的目的:
- 审查门德尔随机化的概念,假设和解释.
- 突出MR在肝病学研究中的优缺点.
- 为了提供一个在肝病学中MR的说明性例子.
主要方法:

The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Law of Independent Assortment

While Mendel’s Law of Segregation states that the two alleles for one gene are separated into different gametes, a different question of how different genes are inherited remains. For example, is the gene for tall plants inherited with the gene for green peas? Mendel asked this question by experimenting with a dihybrid cross; a cross in which both parents are homozygous for two distinct traits resulting in an F1 generation that are heterozygous for both traits.
