Of these, eight CpG sites exhibited different rates of annual methylation change between the NGT and T2D groups, and seven CpG sites were linked to the progression from NGT to prediabetes or T2D, including those annotated to mannosidase alpha class 2a member 2 (MAN2A2) and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 A (CPT1A). The gene discussed is CPT1A; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
