In several observational studies, vitamins B6, B9, B12, C and 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25(OH)D] concentrations were associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although vitamins play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their associations remain unclear.
This study employed Mendelian randomisation (MR) to explore the causal relationships between circulating concentrations of vitamins B6, B9, B12, C, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and T2DM.
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to vitamin B6, vitamin B9, vitamin B12, vitamin C and 25(OH)D levels were used as instrumental variables (IVs) in this study. We have two outcomes related to T2DM derived from two genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The first study, referenced by PMID: 3417140, encompasses a cohort of 406,831 individuals of European descent. The second study, identified by PMID: 29892013, includes a sample size of 468,298 Europeans.
Both univariable Mendelian randomization (UVMR) and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MVMR) analyses demonstrate that genetically predicted elevated levels of serum 25(OH)D are consistently associated with a reduced risk of T2DM. In the UVMR analyses, A 1-SD increase in genetically predicted serum 25(OH)D levels, the inverse-variance weighted (IVW) p = 3.8 × 10, p = 7.6 × 10, the odds ratio(OR) of T2DM (GCST90013942) was 0.67, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.57-0.78. Furthermore, a 1-SD increase in genetically predicted serum 25(OH)D levels was associated with an OR of 0.987 for T2DM (GCST90029024), the IVW p = 1.1 × 10, p = 1.1 × 10 with a 95% CI of 0.981-0.994. In the MVMR analyses, genetically predicted higher serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with a decreased risk of T2DM by the IVW p = 1.2 × 10, p = 5.9 × 10 in GCST90013942 and IVW p = 4.9 × 10, p = 2.5 × 10 in GCST90029024. In contrast, levels of vitamins B6, B9, B12, and C did not domenstrate a significant association with T2DM.
Our research reveals that higher circulating serum 25(OH)D levels reduce the possibility of T2DM.
在多项观察性研究中,维生素B6、B9、B12、C和25-羟基维生素D[25(OH)D]的浓度与2型糖尿病(T2DM)相关。尽管维生素在2型糖尿病(T2DM)的发生发展中起作用,但其关联仍不明确。
本研究采用孟德尔随机化(MR)方法探讨循环中维生素B6、B9、B12、C、25-羟基维生素D浓度与T2DM之间的因果关系。
与维生素B6、维生素B9、维生素B12、维生素C和25(OH)D水平相关的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)在本研究中用作工具变量(IV)。我们有两个与T2DM相关的结果,来自两项全基因组关联研究(GWAS)。第一项研究, PMID为3417140,涵盖了406,831名欧洲血统个体的队列。第二项研究,由PMID:29892013确定,包括468,298名欧洲人的样本量。
单变量孟德尔随机化(UVMR)和多变量孟德尔随机化(MVMR)分析均表明,遗传预测的血清25(OH)D水平升高与T2DM风险降低一致相关。在UVMR分析中,遗传预测的血清25(OH)D水平每增加1个标准差,T2DM(GCST90013942)的逆方差加权(IVW)p = 3.8×10,p = 7.6×10,比值比(OR)为0.67,95%置信区间(CI):0.57 - 0.78。此外,遗传预测的血清25(OH)D水平每增加1个标准差,T2DM(GCST90029024)的OR为0.987,IVW p = 1.1×10,p = 1.1×10,95%CI为0.981 - 0.994。在MVMR分析中,遗传预测的较高血清25(OH)D水平与T2DM风险降低相关,GCST90013942中IVW p = 1.2×10,p = 5.9×10,GCST90029024中IVW p = 4.9×10,p = 2.5×10。相比之下,维生素B6、B9、B_{12}和C的水平与T2DM无显著关联。
我们的研究表明,循环血清中较高水平的25(OH)D可降低患T2DM的可能性。
