Ringkasan	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.	Regression Discontinuity Design is a quasi-experimental method that identifies a causal effect by locally comparing units just above and just below a cutoff on a continuous assignment (running) variable. Formalised for applied work by Imbens and Lemieux (2008) and developed as a practical framework by Cattaneo, Idrobo, and Titiunik (2020), it estimates a local average treatment effect (LATE) at the threshold.
