Update on Mendelian Randomization

As written before I never published any study that included a Mendelian randomization. The reasons are well known.

A new paper from Bristol discusses  the  recent explosion of low-quality two-sample Mendelian randomization studies and offers a cure.

We advise editors to simply reject papers that only report 2SMR findings, with no additional supporting evidence. For reviewers receiving such papers, we provide a template for rejection.
