Interestingly, multiple comparisons results showed that serum FGF21 levels were significantly increased in these T2DM patients with CAS or HP as compared with those without [305.9 (177.2-508.4) vs. 123.9 (67.2-219.3) pg/mL, p < 0.001] (multiple comparisons’ data not shown). The gene discussed is FGF21; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
