Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often comorbid with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The direction of causation between T2D and CVD is difficult to determine; however, there may be a common underlying pathway attributable to shared genetic factors. We aimed to determine whether there is a shared genetic susceptibility to T2D and CVD. This study utilizes large-scale datasets from the UK Biobank (UKB) and DIAGRAM...
