In our case-control study we were not able to demonstrate any association between UCP polymorphisms and obesity in T2DM patients; however, in the meta-analysis we detected a significant association of UCP2 -866G/A, Ins/Del, Ala55Val and UCP3 -55C/T polymorphisms with obesity.

In our case-control study of people with European ancestry we were not able to demonstrate any association between the UCP polymorphisms and T2DM; however, our meta-analysis detected a significant association between the UCP2 Ala55Val and UCP3 -55C/T polymorphisms and increased susceptibility for T2DM in Asians.

In contrast, our results indicate that the UCP2 Ala55Val and UCP3 -55C/T polymorphisms may indeed be risk factors for susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in individuals of Asian descent, but not in individuals of European descent.

UCP2 A55V variant might predispose to obesity and Val55 allele to confer population-attributable risk for 9.5% of obese disorders and increase insulin concentrations.

Multivariate model analysis, including T2D status, age, and body mass index (BMI), displayed significant covariance in PPARGC-1α rs8192678; SIRT1 rs7896005; TCF7L2 rs7903146 and rs122243326; UCP3 rs3781907; and HHEX rs1111875 with a P < 0.05.
The aim of this study was to analyse the association between PPARG rs1801282, PPARGC1A rs8192678, VEGFA rs2010963, ADRA2A rs553668, KCNQ1 rs2237892, SIRT1 rs7896005, IGF2BP2 rs4402960, and UCP3 rs3781907 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) with T2D and metabolic traits in a case-control study of a population from Mexico City.
We found that the individual polymorphisms were not associated with obesity, but the (-866G; rs659366)-(Del; 45bp)-(-55T; rs1800849) haplotype was significantly associated with obesity and its presence in the control group increased about nine times the insulin resistance risk.
On the other hand, patients with pCAD and UCP2 A55V (rs660339) TT showed high levels of visceral abdominal fat (VAF) (Pc = 0.002), low levels of subcutaneous abdominal fat (SAF) (Pc = 0.001) and high VAT/SAT ratio (Pc < 0.001).
The UCP2 Ala55Val (C/T rs660339), UCP2 -866G/A (rs659366), and UCP3 -55C/T (rs1800849) polymorphisms were genotyped in 948 patients with pCAD, and 763 controls.
Haplotype analysis showed the haplotype GAATA (rs1800592-rs12502572-rs659366-rs660339-rs3781907) was significantly associated with lower EH risk (p = 0.001, χ<sup>2</sup> = 10.861, OR = 0.634, 95% CI = 0.483-0.833), and AGATG was associated with increased EH risk (p = 0.012, χ<sup>2</sup> = 6.287, OR = 1.265, 95% CI = 1.052-1.521).
On the other hand, patients with pCAD and UCP2 A55V (rs660339) TT showed high levels of visceral abdominal fat (VAF) (Pc = 0.002), low levels of subcutaneous abdominal fat (SAF) (Pc = 0.001) and high VAT/SAT ratio (Pc < 0.001).
We analyzed the UCP1 -3826 C/T, UCP2-866 G/A, Ala55Val and UCP3 -55 C/T polymorphisms and the levels of adipokines in adolescents with normal weight and with overweight or obesity.
Also, rs15763 was found to be marginally significantly associated with T2DM under dominant model (OR<sub>GA + AA vs GG</sub> = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.52-1.03, P = 0.072).
