Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The role of immune cells in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) development is well-studied, but their interactions with the gut microbiota and the mediating role in this process remain unclear. METHODS: We analyzed 731 immune cell phenotypes (3,757 Europeans), 473 gut microbiota traits (5,959 Finns), and T2DM data (over 400,000 Finns). Mendelian randomization (MR) was based on three assumptions: the...
