Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Observational studies have revealed that type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, whether the two diseases share a genetic basis and whether the relationship is causal remain unclear. It is also unclear as to whether these relationships differ between ethnic groups.
21,926 European ancestry type 2 diabetes cases, 5,673 European ancestry peripheral artery disease cases, 702,298 European ancestry controls
