In nutshell, we identified seven hub genes (HIST2H2AA3, HIST2H2AA4, NFKBIA, SESN2, SMURF1, TGFβ1, TNRC6A) in T2DM vs. PC, six common hub genes (ATP6V0D1, ATP6V0C, ATP6V0E1, CTSD, CYBA, TGFβ1) in T2DM vs. LC and five common hub genes (ALYREF, CDKN2D, NGDN, THRAP3, UBE2M) in T2DM vs. BC, respectively (Fig. 3). Here, ATP6V0C is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
