Podsumowanie	A Bayesian epigenome-wide association study (Bayesian EWAS) scans hundreds of thousands of DNA methylation sites across the genome to identify those statistically associated with an educational outcome — such as cognitive ability, attainment, or socioeconomic exposure during schooling. Unlike classical frequentist EWAS, the Bayesian framework incorporates prior biological knowledge to compute posterior probabilities of association, improving power and reducing false discoveries when applied to complex educational phenotypes.	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.
