FTO and Insulin resistance: Additionally, rs9939609 (AT genotype, OR = 0.063; 95% CI: 0.006-0.707, p = 0.025 and AA genotype, OR = 0.111; 95% CI: 0.021-0.576, p = 0.009) and rs17817449 (GT genotype, OR = 12.250; CI: 9.720-84.383, p < 0.001) polymorphisms were strongly associated with insulin resistance.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Our study supports that FTO gene rs9939609 and rs17817449 polymorphisms are associated with insulin resistance independently of age, gender, and BMI.
