Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging biomarkers for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

In this study, we obtained serum samples from 184 T2DM patients (92 with microvascular complications and 92 free of complications) and 92 age/gender-matched controls. The levels of 754 miRNAs were initially analyzed using a TaqMan Low Density Array ( ...[more]
