Abstract excerpt

Elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels are associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes in observational studies, but the underlying causal relationship is still unclear. Here, we tested a hypothesis that GGT levels have a causal effect on type 2 diabetes risk using Mendelian randomization. Data were collected from 7640 participants in a South Korean population. In a single instrumental variable (IV)...
