![Figure 279: Funnel plot evaluating potential directional pleiotropy in the Mendelian randomization analysis of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Asymmetry in the distribution of individual SNP estimates around the overall effect size may indicate the presence of pleiotropic bias.]()
