Data are reported as numbers and percentages (%) for genotype counting across all participants (the metabolic syndrome group and control group). Analyses were conducted using the equation of allelic frequencies. A chi-squared test was performed. A two-tailed value ≤0.05 is considered significant. OR: odd ratio, CI: confidence interval.
