Abstract:Background & aims:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been proven to be associated with the risk of developing gastric cancer (GC) in observational studies. However, the result was affected by many potential confounding factors, so a Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to assess the association.
Method
We performed bidirectional MR analyses to explore the causal relationship between T2DM and GC, as well as the risk factors for GC. To examine the effect caused by confounding factors, we took… Show more
