Overview of research design and analysis strategy. Overview of the research design. Exposures come from SUA, with outcomes including DN. The MR framework is based on three fundamental MR assumptions, with MVMR analyses adjusting for ten mediating factors for positive results. MVMR, multivariate Mendelian randomization; UVMR, Univariate Mendelian randomization; BMI, body mass index; EA, education attainment; DN, diabetic neuropathy; SUA, Serum urate acid; HbA1c, Glycated Hemoglobin A1c; LDL-C, Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol; HDL-C, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol; TG, Triglyceride; IR, insulin resistance.
