For example, in subjects with prediabetes versus controls, cytochrome P450, family 4, subfamily F, polypeptide 3 (CYP4F3), CYP4F8, Phospholipase A2, group IIC (PLA2G2C), and PLA2G4E were differentially methylated, while in subjects with diabetes versus prediabetes, CYP2E1 and PLA2G12A were involved. This evidence concerns the gene PLA2G2C and diabetes mellitus.
