Circulating Long Noncoding RNA Signatures Associate With Incident Diabetes in Older Adults: A Prospective Analysis From the VITA Cohort Study

Diabetes CarePublished Prospective community-based cohort study

Authors' conclusion

We found a set of circulating lncRNAs that independently portends incident type 2 diabetes in older adults years before disease onset.

Study context

Population
Older adults without diabetes from the Vienna Transdanube Aging study; validation cohort of individuals with and without T2Dvalidation cohort n = 90
Participants
296 adults
Outcome
Incident T2D
Follow-up
7.5 years
Methodological detailsvalidation cohort
  • Validation cohort

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

7.5-year follow-up
  • Four Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) (ANRIL, MIAT, RNCR3, PLUTO) associated with incident T2D and linked to HbA1c trajectories

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Similar results in the validation cohort (for MIAT and PLUTO also in combined analysis)
