Comparison 2 illustrated that protein and nonprotein standardised HDL2-SAA, although appeared higher in the T1DM group with HbA1c ≥ 8.34%, it was not statistically different compared to the T1DM group with HbA1c < 8.34% (P = 0.096 and 0.085, resp). This evidence concerns the gene SAA2 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
