Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase beta gene polymorphism does not predict cardiovascular risk susceptibility in Chinese type 2 diabetic individuals.

These results did not demonstrate association between rs2268388 SNP in ACACB with CV outcomes in Chinese T2D patients. The ACACB gene and its role in CV risk susceptibility, via alterations in fatty acid oxidation, remains an interesting postulate and studies with larger cohort sizes and in different ethnic groups remain warranted.
