Popis: Abstract Background Glucokinase activators (GKAs) are an emerging class of glucose lowering drugs that activate the glucose-sensing enzyme glucokinase (GK). Pending formal cardiovascular outcome trials, we applied two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate the impact of GK activation on risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods We used independent genetic variants in or around the glucokinase gene meanwhile associated with HbA1c at genome-wide significance (P
