Mendelian randomization study of B-type natriuretic peptide and type 2 diabetes: evidence of causal association from population studies.

Mendelian randomization study of B-type natriuretic peptide and type 2 diabetes: evidence of causal association from population studies.

<h4>Background</h4>Genetic and epidemiological evidence suggests an inverse association between B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in blood and risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the prospective association of BNP with T2D is uncertain, and it is unclear whether the association is c...
