Mendelian randomisation uses SNPs (i.e., single nucleotide polymorphisms – SNPS –) or common genetic variants as instrumental variables (IVs) for an exposure of interest, rather than using the observed phenotype, to examine whether the exposure (or liability to an exposure if it is binary) has an effect on an outcome of interest [4]. MR exploits the unique properties of common genetic variants and the fact that genes are randomly allocated from parents to offspring during gamete formation [5].

Study cohortsWe analysed data collected from 2478 samples across three different UK population cohorts, of which 2358 samples passed quality control assessment and are included in the analyses in this manuscript. TwinsUK [20] (post-QC \(n = 394\), from 236 unique families) is the UK’s most comprehensive and detailed registry of adult monozygotic and dizygotic twins.

Almost 2 million people in the UK are estimated to be living with long COVID - after-effects of COVID that can persist for months or even years after the initial infection. Common symptoms include fatigue, breathlessness, muscle and joint pain, cognitive impairment and sleep disruption. People with long COVID also have a higher risk of developing serious heart and lung problems, stroke and blood clots compared to those who have not previously been diagnosed with COVID.

Authored by MN Gordon via EconomicPrism.com, Are you the type of person who works hard, saves money, and invests with the intent of accumulating lasting wealth? If so, you've likely noticed that things don't quite add up between what you're regularly told about how the economy and financial markets work and what you actually experience. We think there's more to this than just dollars and cents. The central feature of economics is prices. How they are determined and how people respond to them.

If there's one major theme playing out in biotech this year, it's watching out for the pitfalls. And then getting hit out of left field by something new and unexpected. Bioregnum Opinion Column by John Carroll For our H1 survey, I wanted to gauge the temperature of a large group of biotech executives - largely CEOs - as they weather the storm following two years of blue skies and clear sailing. And their concerns - counted among 77 execs who took part - came through loud and clear.
