Two upregulated (IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3) and 5 downregulated (methyltransferase‐like 3 [METTL3], alkylation repair homolog protein 1 [ALKBH1], YTH domain family 2 [YTHDF2], YTHDF3, and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein [HNRNPC]) m6A‐related genes were found in islet samples of T2DM patients. This evidence concerns the gene METTL3 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
