MiR-126-5p was positively correlated with CXCR1/2, and with HbA1c whilst negatively correlated with circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CD34+CD133+CD45dim) and fibronectin adhesion assay in a combined group of T1DM patients and HCs; p = 0.028 p = 0.049 p = 0.035 p = 0.047 and p = 0.004 respectively. This evidence concerns the gene FN1 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
