Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) experience a two-fold increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified T2DM susceptibility genetic variants. Interestingly, the genetic variants associated with cardiovascular disease risk in T2DM Han Chinese remain to be elucidated. The present study aimed to investigate the genetic variants associated with...
