用于组学系统分析的孟德尔随机化和因果网络

Mendelian randomization and causal networks for systematic analysis of omics

Azam Yazdani

摘要:

通过工具变量分析实现的孟德尔随机化在因果关系中经常被讨论,最近在真实数据上的应用数量正在增加。然而,很少有讨论,以解决现代生物医学问题,如整合大规模组学的因果关系。虽然在大型组学时代,我们面临着数百或数千个对底层结构知之甚少的组件,但该领域的重点是小规模的,并且大多具有已知的结构。大量组学数据的可用性突出了对技术的需求,以确定组学组件之间的相互连接,并揭示管理关系的原则。本研究扩展了工具变量技术,以确定大规模的因果网络和评估的假设。大规模的因果网络是复杂的,需要进一步的分析,以揭示机制,其中组件是相关的内部和之间的组学和疾病的终点。本研究将回顾因果网络在机械理解中的应用。

英文摘要:

Mendelian randomization implemented through instrumental variable analysis is frequently discussed in causality and recently the number of applications on real data is increasing. However, there are very few discussions to address modern biomedical questions such as the integration of large scale omics in causality. While in the age of large omics, we face several hundred or thousands of components with little knowledge about the underlying structures, the focus of the field is on small scales and mostly with known structures. The availability of large omic data accentuates the need for techniques to identify interconnectivity among the omic components and reveal the principles that govern the relationships. This study extends instrumental variable techniques to identify causal networks in large scales and assess the assumptions. Large-scale causal networks are complex and further analyses are required to uncover mechanisms by which the components are related within and between omics and linked to disease endpoints. This study will review these utilities of causal networks for mechanistic understanding.
