Prioritising Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes: Causal Inference through Genetic Approaches.

Current diabetes reports - 19 May 2018

Wittemans Laura B L, Lotta Luca A, Langenberg Claudia

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Causality has been demonstrated for few of the many putative risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D) emerging from observational epidemiology. Genetic approaches are increasingly being used to infer causality, and in this review, we discuss how genetic discoveries have shaped our understanding of the causal role of factors associated with T2D. RECENT FINDINGS: Genetic discoveries have led to...
