Below is a paragraph from the MR analysis resultsPlease write down the advantages and disadvantages which is academicParagraph :This study identified 40 41 353023113 83 7 458 and 374 SNPs from the GWA
Advantages of the academic analysis:
- Use of a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables (IVs) for various lifestyle factors, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of their causal effects on the outcomes.
- Application of multiple methods, such as IVW, MR-Egger, weighted median, and leave-one-out analysis, to ensure robustness of the results.
- Examination of potential pleiotropy and heterogeneity in the analysis, providing insights into the validity and consistency of the causal estimates.
- Presentation of scatter plots and figures to visually depict the associations between genetic variants and outcomes, aiding in the interpretation of the results.
Disadvantages of the academic analysis:
- Lack of statistical significance for some of the associations observed, indicating weak or inconclusive evidence for the causal effects.
- Insufficient sample size or power to detect significant associations for certain lifestyle factors and outcomes.
- Reliance on genetic predictors and instrumental variable analysis, which assumes that the IVs are valid and satisfy the necessary assumptions, including no pleiotropy.
- Limited generalizability of the findings to populations other than the ones included in the study
