confounder: MR evidence on confounding traits between exposure and outcome

Description

GET /confounder

Usage

confounder(
  exposure_trait = NULL,
  outcome_trait = NULL,
  type = c("confounder", "intermediate", "reverse_intermediate", "collider"),
  pval_threshold = 1e-05,
  mode = c("table", "raw")
)

Arguments

exposure_trait

A trait name, e.g. "Body mass index", leaving exposure_trait as NULL will return MR information related to a specific outcome. NOTE: exposure_trait and outcome_trait cannot be both NULL.

outcome_trait

A trait name, e.g. "Coronary heart disease", leaving outcome_trait as NULL will return MR information related to a specific exposure_trait. NOTE: exposure_trait and outcome_trait cannot be both NULL.

type

One in ["confounder", "intermediate", "reverse_intermediate", "collider"] Refer to the confounder view in web application for details

pval_threshold

P-value threshold

mode

If mode = "table", returns a data frame (a tibble as per tidyverse convention). If mode = "raw", returns a raw response from EpiGraphDB API with minimal parsing done by httr.

Value

Data from GET /confounder

Examples

# NOT RUN {
confounder(exposure_trait = "Body mass index", outcome_trait = "Coronary heart disease")
# }
