Sex differences in the risk of cataract associated with type 2 diabetes: a Mendelian randomization study

2021-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a recognized risk factor for developing cataract. However, it is unclear if the shared genetic variance and potential genetic causal relationship between T2D and cataract are different for males and females. We evaluated sex-specific genetic correlation ( r g ) and putative genetic causality between the two diseases by using linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) and six Mendelian...
