Abstract excerpt

Elevated serum fetuin-B is suggested to be associated with insulin resistance, but it is unknown if this association is causal. The aim of this study was to explore the potential causal relationship between fetuin-B and insulin resistance.We used Mendelian randomization analysis by incorporating information of genetic variants in FETUB and serum fetuin-B concentrations with insulin resistance in 1148 obese...
