In robust linear regressions adjusted for age and gender, known diabetes was significantly and positively associated with the percentage of monocytes expressing CD69 [beta 11.06 (p-value = 0.016)], CD42b (PMAs) [19.51(0.003)], % of neutrophils expressing CD69 [14.19 (<0.0001)] and CD42b [17.7 (0.001)] Table 3. Here, GP1BA is linked to diabetes mellitus.
