Comparison of the mean expression levels between T1D and MA groups revealed highly significant differences for six proteins (sTNFR1, sTNFR2, sIL2Rα, MMP2, sIL6R, and sgp130; P < 1 × 10−5) and moderately significant differences for four proteins (CRP, SAA, sICAM1, and sVCAM1; P < 0.05) (Table S1 in Supplementary Material). The gene discussed is MMP2; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
