Furthermore, GSVA revealed that three GO category negative regulation of interferon gamma secretion, uronic acid metabolic process, heterochromatin assembly were highly enriched in the high-SLC17A4 group, three KEGG category ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, maturity onset diabetes of the young, homologous recombination were mainly gathered in the high-SLC17A4 group (Figure 9D). This evidence concerns the gene SLC17A4 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
