Betatrophin may aid T2DM biomarker research; leaves open clinical utility and ethnic differences pending validation.
Yue et al. (2016) conducted a meta-analysis in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Betatrophin levels in blood was evaluated on Association between betatrophin and T2DM (Mean 329.46, 95% CI 182.51 to 476.42, p=< 0.0001). Blood betatrophin levels were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus overall (Mean 329.46; 95% CI 182.51 to 476.42; P<0.0001), but not within the Caucasian population.
