LDL-C plays a causal role on T2DM: a Mendelian randomization analysis

Abstract: Diabetic dyslipidemia is a common condition in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, with the increasing application of statins which mainly decrease low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, clinical trials and meta-analysis showed a clearly increase of the incidence of new-onset DMs, partly due to genetic factors. To determine whether a causal relationship exists between LDL-C and T2DM, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis using genetic variations as ins… Show more

“…These disparities also suggested that race and ethnicity might not be the major influencing factor. A Mendelian random analysis (47) reported that LDL-c played a causal role in T2DM with the elevated LDL-c significantly increased the risk of T2DM, which made the effects of LDL-c on T2DM confusing compared to our results.…”

“…Numerous studies using either conventional observational 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 or more recent Mendelian Randomization methods 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 have investigated the relationship between dyslipidaemia and T2DM liability. However, the existing body of evidence has some important limitations.…”

“…For example, Mohamadi, et al showed that the increase in FBG, SBP, and BMI was associated with an increased likelihood of exhibiting T2DM [ 36 ]. Pan et al have reported that elevated LDL-C levels significantly increased the risk of T2DM [ 48 ]. Some reports have shown that hypertension was an independent risk factor for T2DM [ 49 , 50 ].…”
