ABSTRACT Objective This pilot study investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the NOX5 gene (NADPH oxidase 5) are associated with the type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. Subjects and methods A total of 1579 patients with T2D and 1627 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were recruited for this study. Genotyping of common SNPs, namely rs35672233, rs3743093, rs2036343, rs311886, and rs438866, was performed using the MassArray-4 system. Results SNP rs35672233 was associated with an increased risk of T2D (OR = 1.67, […]
