MR-Base integrates thousands of harmonized genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary datasets with analytical tooling for systematic two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR). The platform supports reproducible causal inference by coupling data extraction, instrument selection, harmonization, statistical analysis, sensitivity diagnostics, and reporting across a large and evolving catalog of phenotypes.
