In line with these observations, in subjects with T2D, multivariable Cox models revealed both FABP3 and FABP4 as independent predictors for the occurrence of all-cause mortality (FABP3: HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.09–1.44, p-value = 0.002; FABP4: HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.12–4.36, p-value = 0.023, respectively) (Table 2) and CV death (FABP3: HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.09–1.50, p = 0.002; FABP4: HR 4.19, 95% CI 2.21–7.95, p-value < 0.001, respectively) (Table 3). The gene discussed is FABP4; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
