Moreover, low levels of HSPA12B were also associated with increased risk of both in individuals with diabetes (adjusted OR = 4.004, 95% CI = 1.832–8.752, P < 0.001) and without diabetes (adjusted OR = 4.292, 95% CI = 3.004–6.132, P < 0.001), as well as in normal weight individuals (adjusted OR = 4.015, 95% CI = 2.590–6.224, P < 0.001) and in those overweight (adjusted OR = 4.389, 95% CI = 2.756–6.991, P < 0.001). The gene discussed is HSPA12B; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
