We had previously studied the IL32 rs1555001, but no significant association with ATL manifestations was found (Dos Santos et al., 2020) as well as with acute lung injury (Arcaroli et al., 2011) or with carotid artery calcified plaque in type 2 diabetes mellitus (Lehtinen et al., 2011). This evidence concerns the gene IL32 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
