Precision Phenotyping in Cardiometabolic Medicine: Genetic Susceptibility of Diabetes Subtypes and Coronary Artery Disease Risk

This review synthesizes evidence on the genetic architecture of adult-onset diabetes subtypes, highlighting that Moderate Obesity-related Diabetes (MOD) is uniquely and causally linked to coronary artery disease risk through polygenic and Mendelian randomization analyses.

Angiographic Burden of Coronary Atherosclerosis: The Critical Mediator Between ASCVD Risk Factors and Cardiovascular Outcomes

This Mendelian randomization study reveals that coronary plaque burden significantly mediates the link between traditional risk factors and adverse events like myocardial infarction and heart failure, reinforcing the necessity of early primary prevention to intercept atherosclerosis development.

Causal Insights Into Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Mendelian Randomization Evidence Linking BMI, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Smoking

Recent Mendelian randomization analyses demonstrate causal effects of increased BMI and inflammatory bowel disease on hidradenitis suppurativa risk, elucidating modifiable contributions beyond genetic correlations with psoriasis and systemic sclerosis.
