Diabetologia. 2021 Jun;64(6):1342–1347. 10.1007/s00125-021-05428-0. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33830302/By studying data from very large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in European ancestry individuals, the authors compared genetic signals that confer risk of type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Only 5 signals ...

Lancet Healthy Longevity 2021 10.1016/S2666-7568(21)00086-6.In brief: Using a multivariable Mendelian randomization approach, genetic data on lipoprotein lipid levels and disease outcomes indicated that higher Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) levels increase the risks of coronary heart disease, stroke and T2DM, and shorten longevity. ApoB is emerging as a more sensitive measure of disease r...
