Immunocytes Play a Crucial Role as Mediators in the Protective Effects of D-β-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase 1 against Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Mendelian Randomization Study

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Observational studies suggest an association between the immune system and type 2 diabetes. The present study sought to ascertain the causal relationship between BDH1 and type 2 diabetes and investigate whether immunocytes mediate this relationship. METHODS: Appropriate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were carefully selected from publicly available GWAS databases based on rigorous criteria to...
