“…In recent years, there have been many reports about the association between adiponectin SNPs and various diseases. Although previous studies have examined the role of adiponectin SNPs in obesity, T2D and CVD [11][12][13][14][15]37 . In this study, we did not find a significant association between the +45 T>G (rs2241766) in the ADIPOQ gene and MS in Tunisian population.…”

“…Our results are similar to those of others study in different ethnic populations 38,39 . However, the association of SNP +45 T>G with T2D, insulin resistance and obesity both in healthy individuals and T2D patients, has been investigated in several populations including the Tunisian ones 12,14,[40][41][42] . Interestingly, polymorphism +45T>G showed a strong association with body adiposity in diabetic women.…”

“…There are 149 variants identified in the ADIPOQ gene (73). Although the number of variations are not directly associated with T2DM, these variations may affect insulin sensitivity in obese diabetic patients (69,74).…”

“…Although studies on ADIPOQ genetic variations in Arab populations are still limited and there are no metaanalyses showing the frequency of Arabs carrying variants of the ADIPOQ gene, several researchers have reported that a statistically significant number of Arab obese diabetic patients carry variants of the ADIPOQ gene (73,77).…”
