We also reported that elevated plasma numbers of apoB‐lipoproteins (i.e., plasma apoB) are associated with risk factors for T2D in overweight and obese subjects (Bissonnette et al., 2013, 2015; Bissonnette, Saint‐Pierre, et al., 2018; Lamantia et al., 2017; Wassef et al., 2015). The gene discussed is APOB; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
