Furthermore, when participants were stratified into three groups by adiponectin tertiles, the prevalence of MS decreased from the lowest to the highest adiponectin tertile (tertile 1 = 96.2%, tertile 2 = 91.5%, and tertile 3 = 83.8%; P for trend = 0.007). The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is myeloid sarcoma.
