Analysis of the proteomic abundance of proteins indicated that diabetes induced the expression levels of collagen type VI α6 (4.32 fold, p = 0.03), collagen type XVIII α1 (2.75 fold, p = 0.035), and fibulin 1 (4.12 fold, p = 0.013) compared to control tissues. The gene discussed is FBLN1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
