After adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, random blood glucose, HbA1c, T2DM and CAD were significantly associated with BMP-2 levels (Estimate, 0.32; standard error, 0.16; p =0.04; Estimate, 0.30; standard error, 0.13; p =0.021; Estimate, 1.565; standard error, 0.434; p =0.0005; Estimate, 1.299; standard error, 0.425; p =0.0028, respectively) (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene BMP2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
