APOB and diabetes mellitus: The standardized regression co-efficient data indicated that component 1 and component 2, characterized by the Sac-1 SNP, the -75 G>A SNP and HTN, were significantly associated with TG (0.154, p < 0.008) for the first component, TG (B = -0.147, p < 0.011) and ApoB (B = – 0.194, p < 0.001) for the second component while the component 3, characterized by DM, was associated with the Waist Hip Ratio (B = 0.117, p = 0.049) (Table 7).
