Age-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Adverse Outcomes

TL;DR: Age-related clonal hematopoiesis is a common condition that is associated with increases in the risk of hematologic cancer and in all-cause mortality, with the latter possibly due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mendelian randomization: using genes as instruments for making causal inferences in epidemiology.

TL;DR: The use of germline genetic variants that proxy for environmentally modifiable exposures as instruments for these exposures is one form of IV analysis that can be implemented within observational epidemiological studies and can be considered as analogous to randomized controlled trials.
