Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Observational studies have linked diabetes with cataracts, but they cannot fully elucidate the underlying causes and mechanisms. This investigation aims to evaluate the causal relationship between genetically predicted diabetes and cataract risk utilizing Mendelian randomisation (MR) techniques. METHODS: We identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a significant threshold of P <...
