요약	Bayesian genome-wide association study (Bayesian GWAS) applies Bayesian statistical models to millions of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to identify genetic variants associated with educational outcomes such as years of schooling or cognitive test scores. Unlike classical frequentist GWAS, Bayesian approaches assign prior distributions over effect sizes, enabling more principled handling of the polygenic architecture typical of educational traits, shrinkage of small effects, and direct posterior probability estimates for variant inclusion.	Mendelian randomization is a method for estimating causal effects of exposures on outcomes using genetic variants as instrumental variables. Introduced by George Davey Smith in the 1990s, it exploits Mendel's law of segregation to remove confounding bias. It has become a cornerstone technique in epidemiological causal inference.
