These results were similar to a previous study which reported that the lncRNAs (n342533, n335556, and n336109) were closely correlated to BMI, FPG, 2hPG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, alanine transaminase, HDL-C, and HOMA-B of patients with T2DM and healthy controls [44]. This evidence concerns the gene GPT and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
