Alterations of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosines in Circulating Cell-free DNA Reflect Retinopathy in Type 2 Diabetes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common microvascular complication that may cause severe visual impairment and blindness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Early detection of DR will provide opportunities for more treatment options and better control of disease progression. Effective biomarkers, which are not currently available, may improve clinical outcomes through precise diagnosis and prognosis. We sought to develop a non-invasive diagnostic approach for diabetic retinopathy among type 2 diabetes mellitus based on 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC), an emerging epigenetic marker, in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA)
