And meanwhile, the qRT-PCR results for 10 normal and 10 T2D blood samples indicated the expression of IER3 was consistent with the bioinformatic results (Figure 8C; Table 2), but the expression of AMPD3 was lower in T2D samples than that in controls (Figure 8D; Table 2). The gene discussed is AMPD3; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
