Evaluating the impact of glucokinase activation on risk of cardiovascular disease: a Mendelian randomisation analysis
23 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Glucokinase activators (GKAs) are an emerging class of glucose lowering drugs that activate the glucose-sensing enzyme glucokinase (GK). Pending formal cardiovascular outcome trials, we applied two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate the impact of GK activation on risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods We used independent genetic variants in or around the glucokinase gene...
