For example, rs1704198 near the PROX1 gene seems associated with increased waist circumference (Kim et al., 2013) and rs340874 in the 5’UTR of PROX1 predisposes to abdominal fat and is associated with fasting hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes (Adamska‐Patruno et al., 2019; Kretowski et al., 2015). Here, PROX1 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
