Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are more susceptible to develop cardiovascular complications than non-diabetic subjects. Several studies have indicated a role of adiponectin gene in the increased coronary artery disease (CAD) risk in T2D patients. The data however is limited and have been inconsistent. In this study we examined the association of SNP45T>G and SNP276G>T of adiponectin gene with CAD risk in T2D...
