These genes include: S100A12 (or EN-RAGE, extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products-binding protein, (2.6 fold increase in T2DM, FDR = 1.97 %), CD164 (2.75 fold increase, FDR < 0.1 %), TLR1 (2.8 fold increase, FDR <0.1 %). Here, TLR1 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
