T2D patients presented several genes that were differentially expressed compared to T1D patients, including genes of numerous zinc finger proteins and genes regulating transcription (ZNF184, ZNF576, ZNF449, ZNF594, ZNF641, ZNF100, ZNF644, ZNF189, ZNF785, ZNF436, ZNF613, among others). Here, ZNF785 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
