Genome-wide profiling of DNA methylation and gene expression identifies candidate genes for human diabetic neuropathy

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common complication of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although the cellular and molecular mechanisms of DPN are poorly understood, we and others have shown that altered gene expression and DNA methylation are implicated in disease pathogenesis. However, how DNA methylation might functionally impact gene expression and contribute to nerve damage remains unclear....
