SFRP2 and diabetes mellitus: Genes such as KCNE5 [45], SHANK3 [46], CASQ2 [47], EDNRA (endothelin receptor type A) [48], EPHB4 [49], ALPK3 [50], WNT11 [51], IRAK2 [52], FBN1 [53], SFRP2 [54], CLCA2 [55], NEXN (nexilin F-actin binding protein) [56], PALLD (palladin, cytoskeletal associated protein) [57], DAB2 [58], NRP2 [59], THBS2 [60], CSF1R [61], KCNA2 [62], CACNA1C [63], F2R [64], UCHL1 [65], CCL18 [66], ITGB1BP2 [67] and FMOD (fibromodulin) [68] were reportedly involved in cardio vascular diseases, but these genes might be key for progression of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus.
