Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The link between schizophrenia and diabetes mellitus is well established by observational studies; however, the cause-effect relationship remains unclear. METHODS: Here, we conducted Mendelian randomization analyses to assess a causal relationship of the genetic variants related to elevated fasting glucose levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting insulin levels, and type 2 diabetes with the risk of...
