Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses are used to estimate causal effects of 1,002 plasma proteins on 225 phenotypes. Evidence from drug developmental programs shows that target-indication pairs with MR and colocalization support were more likely to be approved, highlighting the value of this approach for prioritizing therapeutic targets.
