(25) noted in their study on serum selenium and selenoprotein P levels a positive correlation with T2D among males, where a 1 mg/L increase in SELENOP corresponded to an (OR) of 1.22 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.48), particularly pronounced in male subjects, and also noted an association with hypertension, suggesting a potentially risky role of selenium in T2D etiology. The gene discussed is SELENOP; the disease is hypertensive disorder.
