After adjustment for BMI, basal FNDC5 expression was positively associated with fasting insulin levels (p = 0.0326, Figure 4F ) and showed a trend towards positive association with HOMA-IR (p = 0.06).

Even though there was a weak trend for association of the insulin-desensitizing minor A-allele of FNDC5 SNP rs726344 with higher FNDC5 mRNA contents (p = 0.19), this SNP’s MAF was too low to allow a reliable evaluation (only four heterozygous and no homozygous carriers of the minor allele were present among the myotube donors).
