Thus, to better understand therole of lncRNAs in T1DM, we investigated the expression of five candidate lncRNAs inPBMCs from patients with T1DM and individuals without DM, and we found thatMALAT1, MEG3, and TUG1 were upregulated inpatients with < 5 years of T1DM diagnosis. Here, MEG3 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
