Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Iron overload is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, iron overload and iron deficiency have both been associated with metabolic disorders in observational studies. OBJECTIVE: Using mendelian randomization (MR), we assessed how genetically predicted systemic iron status affected T2D risk. METHODS: A 2-sample MR analysis was used to obtain a causal estimate. We selected genetic variants...
