The univariable analyses in T2DM (CAD +) patients exhibited that the Gensini score was negatively associated with GCPS (r = − 0.44, p < 0.001), PSSR-C (r = − 0.50, p < 0.001), PDSR-C (r = − 0.48, p < 0.001) (Fig. 3 A-C), GRPS (r = − 0.43, p < 0.001), and GLPS (r = − 0.43, p < 0.001). Here, GLI3 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
