The association of DPP4 SNPs with T2DM subjects among the three main Malaysian races (Malay, Chinese and Indian), which was assessed using logistic regression (adjusted for age, gender and BMI) revealed that rs12617656 was associated with T2DM among Malaysians of Indian ethnicity (recessive, OR (95%CI) = 3.21 (1.21–8.62); p = 0.019), dominant model OR (95%CI) = 3.72 (1.23–10.43); p = 0.003) and additive OR (95%CI) = 2.29 (1.24–4.24) p = 0.0009). The gene discussed is DPP4; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
