We measured plasma adiponectin levels and genotyped +45T>G (rs2241766) and +276G>T (rs1501299) in the ADIPOQ gene among 417 incident diabetes cases and 1197 control subjects matched by age, sex, and area.
The prevalence of diabetic nephropathy tended to be different according to rs2241766 genotype (p=0.057) and the GG genotype of rs2241766 was associated with diabetic nephropathy [urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) greater than 30 mg/g] after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, duration of diabetes, HDL-cholesterol, smoking status, and blood pressure (odds ratio=1.96; 95% confidence interval=1.01-3.82, p=0.049).
Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the adiponectin locus (45T>G and 276G>T) have been reported to be associated with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

The -3971 A/G (rs822396) and -11391 G/A (rs17300539) SNPs' association with T2DM diabetes was mediated through obesity (where the association with type 2 diabetes was lost after adjusting for BMI).

A nonsynonymous coding SNP (rs17366743, Y111H) was confirmed to be associated with diabetes incidence (HR 1.94 [95% CI 1.16-3.25] for the minor C allele; P(n) = 0.01) and with higher mean fasting glucose over 28 years of follow-up (P(n) = 0.0004; P(e) = 0.004).
