Many lncRNAs have been associated to T2D and diabetes complications such as MALAT1, that correlates to cardiomyopathy (Bacci et al., 2018), or circRNAs targeting hsa-miR-6760-3p, hsa-miR-761, hsa-miR-6728-3p, hsa-miR-5693, hsa-miR-298, and hsa-miR-367-5p which have been correlated to depression in T2D patient (Jiang et al., 2017). Here, MALAT1 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
