Genetic predisposition to an impaired metabolism of the branched chain amino acids and risk of type 2 diabetes: A Mendelian randomisation analysis

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Higher circulating levels of the branched chain amino acids (BCAA; i.e. isoleucine, leucine and valine) are strongly associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk, but it is not known whether this association is causal. We undertook large-scale human g...
