Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with diabetes in observational study. Whether this relationship is causal remains unclear. The current study aimed to explore the causal association between SUA and the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: A two-sample Mendelian...
