in the immune response (fold-enrichment:2.18,P = 0.02, hypergeometric test) (MASP1, STAT6, LPO, IL16, CX3CL1, CSF1, DEFB1, IL1RAP). To capture the general function of the blood proteins associated with MVP we implemented a network approach. We extracted a network from the ...
it may lead to an inflation of type I error. However, different statistical approaches have been developed to assess the robustness of the association discovered by MR and mitigate false positives.
