The association between Alu hypomethylation and severity of type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cellular senescence due to genomic instability is believed to be one of the mechanisms causing health problems in diabetes mellitus (DM). Low methylation levels of Alu elements or Alu hypomethylation, an epigenomic event causing genomic instability, were commonly found in aging people and patients with aging phenotypes, such as osteoporosis. RESULTS: < 0.0001 adjusted age). In the DM group, Alu...
