Methods have been developed for Mendelian randomization that can obtain consistent causal estimates while relaxing the instrumental variable assumptions. These include multivariable Mendelian randomization, in which a genetic variant may be associated with multiple risk factors so long as any association with the outcome is via the measured risk factors (measured pleiotropy), and the MR-Egger (Mendelian randomization-Egger) method, in which a genetic variant may be directly associated with the outcome not via the risk factor of interest, so long as the direct effects of the variants on the outcome are uncorrelated with their associations with the risk factor (unmeasured pleiotropy). In this paper, we extend the MR-Egger method to a multivariable setting to correct for both measured and unmeasured pleiotropy. We show, through theoretical arguments and a simulation study, that the multivariable MR-Egger method has advantages over its univariable counterpart in terms of plausibility of the assumption needed for consistent causal estimation and power to detect a causal effect when this assumption is satisfied. The methods are compared in an applied analysis to investigate the causal effect of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on coronary heart disease risk. The multivariable MR-Egger method will be useful to analyse high-dimensional data in situations where the risk factors are highly related and it is difficult to find genetic variants specifically associated with the risk factor of interest (multivariable by design), and as a sensitivity analysis when the genetic variants are known to have pleiotropic effects on measured risk factors.
Causal directed acyclic graph illustrating univariable Mendelian randomization assumptions with potential violation of IV3 by a pleiotropic effect indicated by a dotted line. The genetic effect of G j on X is Ξ²Xj, the direct (pleiotropic) effect of G j on Y via an independent pathway is Ξ± j (representing the potential violation of the IV3 assumption), and the causal effect of the risk factor X on the outcome Y is ΞΈ. U represents the set of variables that confound the association between X and Y
LLM interpretation
This is a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) illustrating univariable Mendelian randomization assumptions. It shows a primary causal pathway from a genetic variant ($G_j$) to a risk factor ($X$) with effect $\beta_{X_j}$, and from $X$ to an outcome ($Y$) with effect $\theta$, while $U$ represents confounding variables affecting both $X$ and $Y$. A dotted line labeled $\alpha_j$ indicates a potential violation of the IV3 assumption via a direct pleiotropic effect from $G_j$ to $Y$.
Causal directed acyclic graph illustrating multivariable Mendelian randomization assumptions for a set of genetic variants G j, 3 risk factors X 1, X 2, and X 3, and outcome Y. The genetic effect of G j on X k is Ξ²Xkj, the direct (pleiotropic) effect of G j on Y is Ξ±jβ², and the causal effect of the risk factor X k on the outcome Y is ΞΈ k. U k represents the set of variables that confound the associations between X k and Y
LLM interpretation
This is a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) illustrating multivariable Mendelian randomization assumptions. It shows genetic variants ($G_j$) influencing three risk factors ($X_1, X_2, X_3$) via effects $\beta_{Xkj}$, which in turn influence an outcome ($Y$) via causal effects $\theta_k$. The diagram also includes confounding variables ($U_1, U_2, U_3$) affecting the risk factors and outcome, and a dashed line representing a direct pleiotropic effect ($\alpha'_j$) from $G_j$ to $Y$.
Causal directed acyclic graph illustrating the causal relationships between the 2 risk factors X 1 and X 2, and outcome Y. The causal effect of X 1 on X 2 is Ξ³, and the direct causal effect of the risk factor X k on the outcome Y is ΞΈ k. The total causal effect of X 1 on Y is ΞΈ 1+Ξ³ ΞΈ 2, consisting of the direct effect (ΞΈ 1) and the indirect effect via X 2 (Ξ³ ΞΈ 2). U k represents the set of variables that confound the associations between X k and Y
LLM interpretation
This figure is a causal directed acyclic graph (DAG) illustrating the relationships between two risk factors ($X_1$, $X_2$) and an outcome ($Y$). Directed arrows indicate a causal path from $X_1$ to $X_2$ (labeled $\gamma$), from $X_1$ to $Y$ (labeled $\theta_1$), and from $X_2$ to $Y$ (labeled $\theta_2$). The diagram visualizes both the direct effect of $X_1$ on $Y$ and an indirect effect mediated through $X_2$.
