In addition, through MEGMA analysis, we identified 22 key genes (CETP, LPL, APOA5, SIK3, ZPR1, APOC1, BUD13, MLXIPL, TOMM40, GCK, YKT6, RPS6KB1, FTO, VMP1, TUBD1, BCL7B, C19orf80 (ANGPTL8), SIDT2, SENP7, PAFAH1B2, DOCK6, and FOXA2) that were associated with MetS. This evidence concerns the gene VMP1 and metabolic syndrome.
