Article Synopsis
  • In the ACCORD study, those with the haptoglobin 2-2 phenotype and high levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA) showed a greater risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to others with lower HbA levels, while this risk was not evident in those without the Hp2-2 phenotype.
  • The main goal was to see how different levels of HbA impact CAD risk among people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) based on their haptoglobin phenotype, using data from the Look AHEAD study.
  • Results indicated that lower HbA levels (less than 6.5%) reduced CAD risk among non-Hp2-2 individuals, particularly in specific sub
