Type 2 & other diabetes

Circulating small non‐coding RNAs are associated with the insulin‐resistant and obesity‐related type 2 diabetes clusters

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Our research showed differential sncRNA levels among type 2 diabetes clusters. This may reflect and could deepen our understanding of molecular mechanisms, in development, progression, and risk factors for each cluster.

Study context

Population
Individuals with T2D in the Hoorn Diabetes Care System (DCS) cohort, clustered by age, body mass index (BMI), HbA1c, C-peptide and HDL-Cvalidation n = 138
Participants
412 individuals
Exposure
Circulating small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) across five T2D clusters
Outcome
Differentially expressed sncRNAs by cluster
Methodological detailsplasma sncRNA-sequencing, validation dataset
  • Plasma sncRNA-sequencing
  • Validation dataset

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Insulin-resistant cluster: sncRNAs with aberrant expression
10
High BMI cluster: differentially expressed sncRNAs
eight

Observational data: associations, not effects.
