MicroRNA 146a is associated with diabetic complications in type 1 diabetic patients from the EURODIAB PCS.

In this large cohort of DM1 patients, we reported an inverse and independent association of miR-146a-5p with diabetes chronic complications and in particular with CVD and retinopathy, suggesting that miR-146a-5p may be a novel candidate biomarker of DM1 complications.
