In a sensitivity analysis, when removing all 19 participants with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (n = 10) and/or hypertension (n = 11) for which CRP was analyzed, the small group difference in CRP for all CRP values disappeared (p = 0.065) but the small group difference in CRP for CRP values below 10 remained (r = 0.18, p = 0.038). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
