MUO patients exhibited higher HIF1A expression (p = 0.03) and strong correlations between CCL2 and dyslipidemia (total cholesterol, triglycerides)/dysglycemia (fasting glucose) (r = 0.45, p = 0.03; r = 0.52, p = 0.01; r = 0.63, p = 0.001, respectively). The gene discussed is CCL2; the disease is metabolic syndrome.
