In the T1D cohort, correlations were also observed between serum IL-12 (β = 4.0269, p = 0.0029), IFNα2 (β = 15.8123, p = 0.0015), FGF-2 (β = 2.1275, p = 0.0032), TNF-β (β = 21.7215, p = 0.0028), MDC (β = 20.3889, p = 0.0018), GM-CSF (β = 1.1626, p = 0.0029), PDGF-AB/BB (β = 20.0651, p = 0.0232) and GFRcystatin C. Here, FGF2 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
