Conversely, the association of the polymorphism at the non-coding ANRIL loci on 9p21, that is known to associate the most with CAD among common polymorphisms, showed a very similar association in our T1D patients (OR = 1.16 [0.993–1.362], p = 0.03) compared to that previously reported (OR ~ 1.21). This evidence concerns the gene CDKN2B-AS1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
