I did Mendelian randomization using this software:
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MendelianRandomization/vignettes/Vignette_MR.pdf
library(MendelianRandomization)
f=read.table("246LDout272Biobank_Retina.txt", header=T)

Residual Standard Error : 1.106
Heterogeneity test statistic = 298.4508 on 244 degrees of freedom, (p-value = 0.0099)

Let’s say that my exposure is called Retina and my outcome is called Biobank. Can someone please help me interpret these results in terms of ‘horizontal pleiotropy’ as mentioned here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29771313
It looks like you have linkage as opposed to linkage disequilibrium, therefore horizontal pleiotropy is an explanation of the calculation.
The calculation appears to be a GLMM around the beta distribution, the residual looks low (which is good). The heterogeneity statistic is significant, you would need to assess whether this is an index of heterozygosity, but it will relate to expectation of Mendellian inhertiance based around the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.
