Mendelian randomization indicates a causal contribution of type 2 diabetes to retinal vein occlusion
8 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Background Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common retinal vascular disease that can cause severe visual impairment. Many observational studies have shown that type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with RVO, but it remains unknown if the association is causal. The present study aimed to perform Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses to evaluate the causal contribution of genetically predicted T2DM to RVO. Methods...
