Furthermore, the associations of CRP (AOR = 2.59, 96%CI = 1.22, 5.48 for Whites versus AOR = 1.78, 95%CI = 1.04, 3.04 for Blacks) and uric acid (AOR = 3.48, 95%CI = 1.75, 6.92 for Whites versus AOR = 2.09, 95%CI = 1.24, 3.52 for Blacks) with T2DM, appeared stronger for Whites than Blacks, which suggest a higher risk for developing T2DM in Whites than Blacks given the same CRP and uric acid levels. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
