In the literature

In this case, we feel adjustment for multiple comparisons is not useful when presenting secondary outcomes or sensitivity analyses surrounding a single "main analysis." The secondary outcomes and sensitivity analyses are playing a supportive role to the main analysis, and generally provide the opportunity for greater caution in interpreting if the results are inconsistent between analyses, rather than an opportunity for declaring a result "significant" if any of the sensitivity analyses has a nominally significant p-value.
The traditional MR technique, inverse variance‐weighted (IVW) method, was employed to estimate effects, presented as beta (β) values with standard errors for continuous outcomes and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for binary outcomes; p values less than 0.05 were deemed nominally significant.
In addition, a nominally significant increase in the expression of several miRNAs was found in the 22q11.2 neurons that were previously found to be differentially expressed in autopsy samples and peripheral blood in SZ and autism spectrum disorders (e.g., miR-34, miR-4449, miR-146b-3p, and miR-23a-5p).
