Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Despite known risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), the research community still tries to discover new markers that would widen our diagnostic and therapeutic approach to diabetes. Therefore, research on microRNA (miR) in diabetes thrives. This study aimed to assess the utility of miR-126, miR-146a, and miR-375 as novel diagnostic markers for T2D.
METHODS: We examined relative quantities of miR-126, miR-146a, and miR-375 in the serum of patients with established type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 68) and compared these with a control group (n = 29). We also undertook a ROC analysis of significantly changed miR to examine their use as a diagnostic test.
RESULTS: MiR-126 (p < 0.0001) and miR-146a (p = 0.0005) showed a statistically significant reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MiR-126 also proved to be an exceptional diagnostic test in our study cohort, with high sensitivity (91 %) and specificity (97 %). We did not find any difference in our study groups’ relative quantities of miR-375.
CONCLUSION: The study proved a statistically significant reduction of miR-126 and miR-146a in patients with T2D (Tab. 4, Fig. 6, Ref. 51). Text in PDF www.elis.sk
