Abstract excerpt
AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Several research groups have reported methods for quantifying pancreatic beta cell (β-cell) injury by measuring β-cell-specific CpG unmethylation of the insulin gene in circulation using digital droplet PCR or next-generation sequencing. However, these methods have certain disadvantages, such as the need to consider the background signal owing to the small number of target CpG sites and the...
