Popis: article i nfo Background: In European populations, the NPPB rs198389 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We investigated the putative associations between NPPB rs198389, the T2DM risk and quantitative metabolic traits in an Algerian population. Methods:The association analysis was performed as a T2DM case-control study (with 78 cases and 645 controls) nested into the ISOR population-based study. Results: TheNPPBrs198389SNP wasnotassociatedwith T2DM(odds ratio(OR)(95%confidence interval (CI))= 0.73 (0.51-1.04), p = 0.08). However, the C allele was associated with lower fasting plasma insulin levels (p = 0.05) and a lower homeostaticmodel assessmentinsulin resistance index (p= 0.05) innon-diabeticindividuals. Conclusion: The NPPB rs198389 SNP might modulate fasting insulin levels in an Algerian population.
