Importantly, 6 upregulated genes (POLR2A, BDNF, CDC27, LTN1, RAB1A, and CUL2) and 8 downregulated genes (SHC1, GRIN2B, TTN, GNAL, GNB2, PTK2, TF, and TLR9) have been identified as key regulators involved in the effect of FA on endothelial progenitor cell transcriptome of patients with T1D. The gene discussed is POLR2A; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
