PG - 1337071 LID - 10.3389/fendo.2023.1337071 [doi] LID - 1337071 AB - BACKGROUND: The relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gallstone disease (GSD) have been incompletely understood. We aimed to investigate their phenotypic and genetic associations and evaluate the biological mechanisms underlying these associations. METHODS: We first evaluated the phenotypic association between T2DM and GSD using data from the UK Biobank (n>450,000) using a prospective observational design. We then conducted genetic analyses using summary statistics from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of T2DM, with and without adjusting for body mass index (BMI) (N(case)=74,124, N(control)=824,006; T2DM(adj)BMI: N(case)=50,409, N(control)=523,897) and GSD (N(case)=43,639, N(control)=506,798). RESULTS: A unidirectional phenotypic association was observed, where individuals with T2DM exhibited a higher GSD risk (hazard ratio (HR)=1.39, P<0.001), but not in the reverse direction (GSD-->T2DM: HR=1.00, P=0.912). The positive T2DM-GSD genetic correlation (r(g)=0.35, P=7.71x10(-23)) remained even after adjusting for BMI (T2DM(adj)BMI: r(g)=0.22, P=4.48x10(-10)). Mendelian randomization analyses provided evidence of a unidirectional causal relationship (T2DM-->GSD: odds ratio (OR)=1.08, P=4.6x10(-8); GSD-->T2DM: OR=1.02, P=0.48), even after adjusting for important metabolic confounders (OR=1.02, P=0.02). This association was further corroborated through a comprehensive functional analysis reflected by 23 pleiotropic single nucleotide polymorphisms, as well as multiple neural and motor-enriched tissues. CONCLUSION: Through comprehensive observational and genetic analyses, our study clarified the causal relationship between T2DM and GSD, but not in the reverse direction. These findings might provide new insights into prevention and treatment strategies for T2DM and GSD.
