Text

Our analysis using a lower p-value cutoff found no evidence for an association between smoking initiation and risk of schizophrenia, and this also supports the interpretation that this was a pleiotropic effect, although in 2-sample MR, the use of weaker instruments such as these can result in bias towards the null.
