Haplotype analysis revealed that two common haplotypes H1 (111, P = 0.001, OR 1.23[1.08–1.40]) and H2 (222, P = 0.002 OR 0.73[0.59–0.89]) in STRA6, H6 (2121, P = 0.006, OR 1.69[1.51–2.48]) in RBP4 and H4 (2121, P = 0.01 OR 1.41[1.07–1.85]) in GLUT4 were associated with type 2 diabetes. This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A4 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
