There were statistically prominent differences between two groups in terms of age, diabetes, levels of albumin, creatinine, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) and low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) as well as NLR and MLR (p = .004, p = .031, p < .001, p = .043, p = .008, p = .006, p = .002, and p < .001, respectively). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
