Can circulating miR-7-1-5p, and miR-33a-5p be used as markers of T2D patients?

Abstract

Our results demonstrated that the miR-7-1-5p and miR-33a-5p expression levels are deregulated in the diabetics and pre-diabetics. Furthermore, miR-33a-5p showed significant ability in discriminating between diabetics and healthy individuals, suggesting a potential diagnostic use of miRNAs in type-2 diabetes detection.
