ITGB7, RASGRP1, CNR1, SLC2A1, SLC11A1, GPR84, SSTR5, KCNB1, GLUL (glutamate-ammonia ligase), BANK1, CACNA1E, LGR5, AQP3, SIGLEC7, SSTR2 and DNER (delta/notch like EGF repeat containing) could be an index for diabetes, but these genes might be responsible for progression of HF. This evidence concerns the gene SIGLEC7 and diabetes mellitus.
