Haplotype frequencies in the MetS patients and the non-MetS group.

Linkage disequilibrium analysis of ADIPOQ SNPs
Haplotypes rs266729, rs2241766, and rs1501299	MetS patients frequency (%)	Non-MetS group frequency (%)	value	Odd ratio (95% CI: lower–upper)
CTG	136 (32.3%)	253 (60.2%)	<0.0001	0.316 (0.238–0.419)
CTT	139 (33.0%)	91 (21.6%)	<0.0001	1.788 (1.313–2.434)
CGG	54 (12.8%)	35 (8.3%)	0.033	1.622 (1.036–2.542)
GTG	56 (13.3%)	36 (8.5%)	0.027	1.641 (1.054–2.554)
CGT	17 (4.0%)	3 (0.7%)	0.001	5.863 (1.705–20.161)
GTT	11 (2.6%)	2 (0.4%)	0.011	5.621 (1.238–25.516)

OR: odd ratio, CI: confidence interval. The genetic analysis identifies a haplotype at the adiponectin locus. value ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
