After adjustment for age, gender, and BMI, we also observed a significant association of NQO1 C609T SNP with low HDL-c level (OR = 7.7, P = 0.04) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 2.6, P = 0.04) but only among individuals suffering MetS. The gene discussed is NQO1; the disease is hypertriglyceridemia.
