Furthermore, we also found significant associations between this variant and IGI, corrected insulin response (CIR), and DIo (All P &amp;lt; 0.001) in female individuals whose waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is greater than 0.85, with considerable heterogeneity (P<jats:sub>het<\/jats:sub> = 0.009, 0.030, and 0.049, respectively) to male participants in the NGT individuals, but not in the impaired fasting glucose (IFG)\/impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) individuals.
