: Occurs if the chosen genetic variant is only weakly linked to the exposure, leading to inaccurate results.
: Exposure and outcome are measured in the same group of people.
: The genetic variants must be strongly associated with the exposure of interest.
: There are no common causes (confounders) shared between the genetic variants and the outcome.
