[Genetic Risk Factors of Macrovascular Complications in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes].

High risk of macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is caused by insulin resistance and atherogenic dyslipidemia that may be genetically determined. The aim of this study was to assess the association of polymorphic genetic variants APOA5 (S19W/rs3135506), CETP (Taq1B/rs708272), PON1 (Q192R /rs662) and PPARG (Pro12Ala /rs1801282) with T2DM and macrovascular complications in patients with T2DM resident in Northwestern Russia. We examined 386 patients with T2DM and 199 healthy controls.
