extract_instruments: Find instruments for use in MR from the MR Base database

In MRCIEU/TwoSampleMR: Two Sample MR Functions and Interface to MR Base Database

Find instruments for use in MR from the MR Base database

Description

This function searches for GWAS significant SNPs (for a given p-value) for a specified set of outcomes. It then performs LD based clumping to return only independent significant associations.

Usage

extract_instruments(
  outcomes,
  p1 = 5e-08,
  clump = TRUE,
  p2 = 5e-08,
  r2 = 0.001,
  kb = 10000,
  access_token = ieugwasr::check_access_token(),
  force_server = FALSE
)

Arguments

outcomes	Array of outcome IDs (see available_outcomes()).
p1	Significance threshold. The default is 5e-8.
clump	Logical; whether to clump results. The default is TRUE.
p2	Secondary clumping threshold. The default is 5e-8.
r2	Clumping r2 cut off. The default is 0.001.
kb	Clumping distance cutoff. The default is 10000.
access_token	Google OAuth2 access token. Used to authenticate level of access to data. The default is ieugwasr::check_access_token().
force_server	Force the analysis to extract results from the server rather than the MRInstruments package.
