- Abstract:
-
In observational studies, type 2 diabetes is associated with 2- to 4-fold higher risks of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Using data from the China Kadoorie Biobank, we examined associations of genetically-predicted type 2 diabetes with CVD among ∼160,000 participants, to assess whether these relationships are causal. A type 2 diabetes genetic risk score (comprising 48 established risk variants) was associated with the presence of carotid plaque (OR 1.17 [95% CI...
