PPARG and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Former studies, which investigated the impact of a polymorphic expression of PPARγ on diseases characterized by proinflammatory processes, focused specifically only on the analysis of the two commonly occurring NR1C3 SNPs rs1801282 and/or rs3856806. Several investigations showed that these NR1C3 gene variants are putatively associated with a moderately higher risk for the development of lifestyle-associated diseases (e.g., metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, and type 2 diabetes) or for colorectal cancer [23–29].
