Abstract:
What's new? While type 2 diabetes is implicated in cancer development, the two conditions share multiple risk factors, raising questions about the actual contribution of diabetes to cancer risk. Here, a Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to clarify the relationship between diabetes and cancer in a Japanese cohort. Based on data for 32,949 individuals, including 3,541 incident cancer cases, MR analysis revealed no strong genetic evidence supporting a link between diabetes and cancer risk, including site‐specific and overall risk. This finding was confirmed by investigation of data from a genome‐wide association study of colorectal cancer from the BioBank Japan Project.
