The association of haptoglobin levels and phenotype with cardiovascular disease in Type 2 diabetes: a Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes sub-study
We evaluated the relationship of different forms or phenotypes of the blood protein, haptoglobin, and its circulating levels with the risk of developing CVD and fenofibrate benefit in patients with Type 2 diabetes, and showed that both HP phenotype and levels are important to assess CVD risk in patients with Type 2 diabetes, although fenofibrate did not modulate CVD risk via HP phenotype or level.Higher baseline HP levels were associated with higher CVD risk, especially in participants with HP 1-1 phenotype.Fenofibrate benefit on CVD did not differ by HP phenotype and baseline or change in HP levels.
