INS and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Furthermore, correction for multiple comparisons confirmed certain of the above correlations: a) In T2D subjects, serum insulin levels were associated with the levels of CDK5 tv1, CDK5 tv2, CDKN2A tv3, KCNQ1 tv1, THADA tv5 and TSPAN8, hyperlipidemia was associated with the levels of CDK5 tv1 and THADA tv5, and BMI with the levels of IGF2BP2 tv7; b) In control individuals, serum insulin levels were correlated with the levels of IGF2BP2 tv7, serum HDL levels, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio with the levels of CDKN2A tv4, and family history of T2D with the levels of TSPAN8.
