Functional annotation of genes that are potentially regulated by the miRNAs implicated showed that signal transduction pathways (PI3K-Akt, MAPK, HIF-1, cAMP, FoxO, ErbB, Ras, Rap1 and insulin resistance); carbohydrate metabolism; glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, cell communication, cell growth and death; immune system; endocrine system and metabolic diseases are likely involved in the development of hyperglycaemia in this population. Here, EGFR is linked to Hyperglycemia.
