Abstract:
|
Causal mediation analysis is an increasingly popular method for describing the mechanism through which an independent variable affects an outcome. This framework has been extended to accommodate high-dimensional exposures or mediators. However, methods are limited since they do not allow for a comprehensive analysis of multiple predictors and mediators concurrently. We present a novel modeling approach for integrating high-dimensional exposures and mediators by extension of prior methods under the causal mediation framework, with application to microbiome and metabolomic data. We propose an overall global test for evaluating mediation and employ LASSO regression for parameter estimation and significance testing. Additionally, we propose and evaluate taxon-specific estimators for the indirect effect (IE) of the microbiome–metabolome–outcome relationship. Both tests are evaluated for type I error and power under simulation studies. These methods are applied to an existing data set of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients to identify and quantify microbiome–metabolome pathways that potentially mediate the relationship between the microbiome and CRS severity.
