STRA6 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In the present study, we selected STRA6, RARRES2 gene related T2DM as candidate genes, screened SNP rs736118, rs4886578, and rs974456 of STRA6 gene, and SNP rs17173617 of RARRES2 gene as candidate gene polymorphisms; we found that genotype TT of SNP rs736118 on STRA6 was significantly associated with T2DM and protected human against T2DM, also after the adjustment of sex, BMI, and triglyceride.
