PG - 958-963 LID - 10.1080/13813455.2021.1887268 [doi] AB - CONTEXT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has undeniably become a significant threat to public health in the modern world. OBJECTIVE: To identify molecules involved in the development of T2DM, the expression patterns of cis-lincRNAs-LEP were investigated in T2DM patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expression levels of 11 lncRNAs-LEP and LEP mRNA in 71 diabetic patients and 32 controls were determined using qRT-PCR. The association between lncRNAs-LEP and T2DM was performed using ROC curve analysis. RESULTS: The expression analysis of lnc-LEP-2:6 and lnc-LEP-2:7 was significantly different (p
