CETP and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In the present study, we evaluated the respective effects of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the CETP promoter region—rs3764261, rs4783961, and rs1800775—and a missense coding SNP (rs5882) of the CETP gene on the following: lipid concentrations, associated risk of T2D, and the specific complications of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a Taiwanese population.
