After correcting for each confounder separately and applying MVMR, the effects of genetically predicted childhood obesity on the risk of DN are independent. The y-axis details the genetically predicted confounder(s) for which adjustment was made, and the x-axis details the ORs and 95%Cls per 1-standard deviation (SD) increase in exposure. Asterisks (※) denote statistical significance survived false discovery rate (FDR) correction (PFDR<0.05). BMI, body mass index; DN, Diabetic nephropathy; CRP, circulating CRP levels; IVW, Inverse-variance weighted approach; NO.SNP, number of instrumental variables; OR, odds ratio; 95%CI, 95% confidence interval.
