Department of Cardiology Researchers Publish Findings in Type 1 Diabetes (Type 1 diabetes, its complications, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy: a mendelian randomization study of European ancestry).

A recent study conducted by the Department of Cardiology aimed to investigate the causal effects of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its complications on the development of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). The study used genetic variants as instrumental variables for T1D and obtained data from genome-wide association study datasets and the Finnish database. The results showed a causal association between T1D, T1D with complications, and NICM. Additionally, the study suggested that monokine induced by gamma interferon may play a mediating role in the pathogenesis of T1D-NICM. [Extracted from the article]
