The distribution of PCSK9 rs615563 genotypes was not significantly different between the diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. The incidence of diabetes after five-years of follow-up was not different between the genotypes. Our findings also showed no significant relationship between this polymorphism and serum lipid parameters. The data extracted from our cohort study do not support the findings that the gain-of-function mutations of PCSK9 predispose to the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
