Small RNAs are differentially expressed in autoimmune and non-autoimmune diabetes and controls.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Diabetes is a heterogeneous disease and a precise diagnosis of diabetes subgroups is necessary to initiate proper early treatment and clinical management of the disease. Circulating small RNAs (sRNAs) are potentially diagnostic biomarkers in diseases, including diabetes. Here we aimed to examine whether profiles of circulating sRNAs differed between patients with autoimmune and non-autoimmune diabetes and non-diabetic controls.

Design

This cross-sectional case-control study included participants from the third survey of the HUNT study.

Methods

We performed sRNA sequencing in serum from adult-onset type 1 diabetes (n = 51), type 2 diabetes (n = 50) and latent autoimmune diabetes in adult (LADA, n = 51), as well as non-diabetic HUNT3 participants as control gr
