Moreover, a Mendelian randomisation study of genetic scores composed of inherited variants in the gene coding for ATP citrate lyase did not find any association between these scores and diabetes, contrary to HMGCR, NPC1L1, PCSK9 and LDLR scores (genes encoding the targets of statins, ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors) [32], but other studies are needed to confirm these results. Here, PCSK9 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
