In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

[EX Q]: Context: The PlA1/A2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. We studied this polymorphism in a homogenous, extensively phenotyped cohort using the candidate gene approach.', 'The PlA1/A2 polymorphism was determined in 1051 patients with type 2 diabetes and in 2247 individuals without type 2 diabetes.', 'In patients with type 2 diabetes, genotype frequencies were as follows: PlA1/A1 71.4%, PlA1/A2 26.0%, and PlA2/A2 2.7%. In individuals without type 2 diabetes, genotype frequencies were 71.6%, 25.7% and 2.8%, respectively. The PlA2 allele was not associated with fasting and postprandial glucose, glycated haemoglobin, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide and calculated indices of insulin resistance or pancreatic beta cell function. The PlA2 allele was also not significantly associated with angiographic CHD (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.13; 95% CI, 0.93-1.39) or with a history of previous myocardial infarction (adjusted OR 1.09; 95% CI, 0.87-1.37).\Question: Is the PlA1/A2 polymorphism of platelet glycoprotein IIIa associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes . The Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health study?
[EX A]: The GPIIIa PlA1/A2 polymorphism is not associated with type 2 diabetes, glucose metabolism, angiographic CHD or myocardial infarction.

[EX Q]: Context: To describe the anal cushion lifting (ACL) method with preliminary clinical results.', "Between January to September 2007, 127 patients who received ACL method for hemorrhoid was investigated with informed consent. In this study, three surgeons who specialized in anorectal surgery performed the procedures. Patients with grade two or more severe hemorrhoids according to Goligher's classification were considered to be indicated for surgery. The patients were given the choice to undergo either the ACL method or the ligation and excision method. ACL method is an original technique for managing hemorrhoids without excision. After dissecting the anal cushion from the internal sphincter muscle, the anal cushion was lifted to oral side and ligated at the proper position. Clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients were recorded including complications after surgery.", "A total of 127 patients were enrolled. Their median age was 42 (19-84) years, and 74.8% were female. In addition, more than 99% of the patients had grade 3 or worse hemorrhoids. The median follow-up period was 26 (0-88) mo, and the median operative time was 15 (4-30) min. After surgery, analgesics were used for a median period of three days (0-21). Pain control was achieved using extra-oral analgesic drugs, although some patients required intravenous injections of analgesic drugs. The median duration of the patients' postoperative hospital stay was 7 (2-13) d. A total of 10 complications (7.9%) occurred. Bleeding was observed in one patient and was successfully controlled with manual compression. Urinary retention occurred in 6 patients, but it disappeared spontaneously in all cases. Recurrent hemorrhoids developed in 3 patients after 36, 47, and 61 mo, respectively. No anal stenosis or persistent anal pain occurred.\Question: Is anal cushion lifting method a novel radical management strategy for hemorrhoids that does not involve excision or cause postoperative anal complications?
[EX A]: We consider that the ACL method might be better than all other current methods for managing hemorrhoids.

[EX Q]: Context: Multiple copies of genes encoding the catalytic subunit (c) of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) are commonly found in plants. For some of these genes, expression is up-regulated under water stress. The aim of this study was to investigate expression and characterization of TaPP2Ac-1 from Triticum aestivum, and to evaluate the effects of TaPP2Ac-1 on Nicotiana benthamiana in response to water stress.', 'TaPP2Ac-1 cDNA was isolated from wheat by in silico identification and RT-PCR amplification. Transcript levels of TaPP2Ac-1 were examined in wheat responding to water deficit. Copy numbers of TaPP2Ac-1 in wheat genomes and subcellular localization in onion epidermal cells were studied. Enzyme properties of the recombinant TaPP2Ac-1 protein were determined. In addition, studies were carried out in tobacco plants with pCAPE2-TaPP2Ac-1 under water-deficit conditions.', 'TaPP2Ac-1 cDNA was cloned from wheat. Transcript levels of TaPP2Ac-1 in wheat seedlings were up-regulated under drought condition. One copy for this TaPP2Ac-1 was present in each of the three wheat genomes. TaPP2Ac-1 fused with GFP was located in the nucleus and cytoplasm of onion epidermis cells. The recombinant TaPP2Ac-1 gene was over-expressed in Escherichia coli and encoded a functional serine/threonine phosphatase. Transgenic tobacco plants over-expressing TaPP2Ac-1 exhibited stronger drought tolerance than non-transgenic tobacco plants.\Question: Does a wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit gene provide enhanced drought tolerance in tobacco?
[EX A]:
Tobacco plants with pCAPE2-TaPP2Ac-1 appeared to be resistant to water deficit, as shown by their higher capacity to maintain leaf relative water content, leaf cell-membrane stability index, water-retention ability and water use efficiency under water stress. The results suggest that the physiological role of TaPP2Ac-1 is related to drought stress response, possibly through its involvement in drought-responding signal transduction pathways.
