Type-2 diabetes with low LDL-C: genetic insights into a unique phenotype
2019-11-13
Abstract excerpt
Although hyperlipidemia is traditionally considered a risk factor for type-2 diabetes (T2D), evidence has emerged from statin trials and candidate gene investigations suggesting that lower LDL-C increases T2D risk. We thus sought to comprehensively examine the phenotypic and genotypic relationships of LDL-C with T2D. Using data from the UK Biobank, we found that LDL-C was negatively associated with T2D (OR=0.43[0....
