SLC24A2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: In the GSE76896 dataset, the mRNA expression level of SLC24A2 in the T2D group was significantly higher than that in the non-T2D group (logFC = 1.023, P = 3.01e − 03) (Figure 1(a)) and significantly negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level (r = −0.43, P = 0.002) (Figure 1(b)).
