Circulating long non-coding RNAs NKILA, NEAT1, MALAT1, and MIAT expression and their association in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Increased circulating NKILA, NEAT1, MALAT, and MIAT expression in patients with T2DM, which is linked with poor patient outcomes and significantly linked with alcoholism and smoking, may influence the degree and severity of disease among patients with T2DM. These lncRNAs may contribute to the progression of T2DM disease or other related diabetes-related complications.
