Genetic evidence that raised sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Genetic evidence that raised sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Epidemiological studies consistently show that circulating sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels are lower in type 2 diabetes patients than non-diabetic individuals, but the causal nature of this association is controversial. Genetic studies can help dissect causal directions of epidemiological...
