Table 1 Characteristics of the Tayside Diabetic population by PPP1R3A genotype and sex. Parameters are given as corrected means ± Standard deviation, the corrected means are based on multiple measures through time and are adjusted for age diagnosed, age at which parameter was measured and drug treatment at time of measurement.

From: Male preponderance in early diagnosed type 2 diabetes is associated with the ARE insertion/deletion polymorphism in the PPP1R3A locus
