    Background: Dyslipidemia is very common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM)
    .


    Many studies have attempted to unravel the causal relationship between dyslipidemia and susceptibility to T2 DM


    Background: Dyslipidemia is very common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM)


    Methods: Using univariate and multivariate two-sample MR, we utilized data from the African Partnership for Chronic Disease Research (APCDR) (N=13,612, 36.


    Results: In African ancestry, elevated LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels were associated with an increased risk of T2 DM (odds ratio (OR) per standard deviation increase in LDL cholesterol [95% confidence interval, P value]] =1.

    CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with the MR findings in Europeans, HDL-C protects against T2 DM susceptibility, and inhibition of HMGCR increases T2 DM susceptibility in individuals of African ancestry
    .


    However, LDL-C may increase T2 DM susceptibility in individuals of African ancestry compared with individuals of European ancestry


    CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with the MR findings in Europeans, HDL-C protects against T2 DM susceptibility, and inhibition of HMGCR increases T2 DM susceptibility in individuals of African ancestry
