The pre-mir-27a variant rs895819 may contribute to type 2 diabetes mellitus susceptibility in an Iranian cohort

Conclusion Our study shows that rs895819 in hsa-mir-27a is associated with T2DM susceptibility and that the C allele conveyed a protective role against T2DM. Larger multicentric and specific functional studies will be necessary to obtain a deeper comprehension of the role of rs895819 and hsa-mir-27a and how they are involved in the development of diabetes.
