The frequency of FABP2 AA genotype was higher in T2DM cases with dyslipidemia compared to T2DM cases without dyslipidemia and the frequency of FABP2 AT genotype was significantly lower in T2DM cases with dyslipidemia compared to T2DM cases without dyslipidemia (P<0.001). Here, FABP2 is linked to metabolic syndrome.
