SREBF2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Previously, we have reported that expression of 11 CMTN gene members was cross-sectionally associated with T2D prevalence (6), whereas the present study identified only 3 LXR target genes, ABCA1, ABCG1, and MYLIP, rather than SREBP2 target genes (cholesterol synthesis, e.g., SQLE, or uptake genes, e.g., LDLR), as associated with incident T2D.
