Only one (random) twin from each pair and single twins are included in the analysis. P indicates the P values in the comparison of type 2 diabetes versus NGT and abnormal glucose tolerance (type 2 diabetes plus IGT) versus NGT, respectively. Genotype distribution is presented as n (%); allele frequency is presented as frequency (95% CI).
