Identification of DNA methylation of CAPN10 gene changes in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus as a predictive biomarker instead of HbA1c, random blood sugar, lipid profile, kidney function test, and some risk factors

Abstract

Objective. Nowadays, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common chronic endocrine disorder, affecting an estimated 5–10% of adults worldwide and this disease rapidly increases in the Kurdistan region population. This research aims to identify DNA methylation change in the CPAN10 gene as a predictive biomarker in T2DM and the association between DNA methylation status with lipid profile and kidney function test.
