In the abdominal compartment, all the genes showed relatively higher expression in visceral depot as compared to their subcutaneous counterpart, and this difference narrowed with increasing severity of MetS. Their expression level shows an inverse correlation with T2D, MetS, and HOMA-IR and with other T2D-related intermediate traits. Results also demonstrated that individualization of MetS patients could be done based on adipose tissue expression of just 12 genes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adipose tissue expression of lipodystrophy genes shows an association with MetS and its intermediate phenotypic traits.
