1 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Phosphatase and tension homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) was considered as a promising target in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) because of its negative effects on insulin resistance. Alteration in DNA methylation is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.
