We checked for any associations even after adjusting for gender, but none were found to be statistically significant (Supplemental Table S3) except fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels: both parameters were significantly correlated with PPARα in the male control group (p-values 0.004 and 0.035 respectively), and only fasting blood glucose was correlated in the T2DM male group (p-value 0.016). The gene discussed is PPARA; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
