Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is often comorbid with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The direction of causation between T2D and CVD is difficult to determine; however, there may be a common underlying pathway attributable to shared genetic factors. We aimed to determine whether there is a shared genetic susceptibility to T2D and CVD. This study utilizes large-scale datasets from the UK Biobank (UKB) and DIAGRAM consortium to investigate the genetic association between T2D and CVD through phenotypic association analyses, linkage disequilibrium score (LDSC) analysis, and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis. LDSC analysis demonstrates significant genetic associations between T2D and various CVD subtypes, including angina, heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), peripheral vascular disease (PVD), and stroke. Although the genetic association between T2D and atrial fibrillation (AF) was not significant, individuals in the high-T2D PRS group had a significantly increased risk of CVD. These findings suggest a common genetic basis and suggest that genetic susceptibility to T2D may be a potential predictor of CVD risk.

期刊介绍:
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
