Introduction: MicroRNAs (miRNA) are noncoding RNAs that play a central role in governing a variety of physiological and pathological processes, and there are few studies on miR involvement in diabetes mellitus. There are three principal types of diabetes, i.e., type 1 (T1DM), type 2 (T2DM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In this study we performed a meta-analysis of the miRNA expression profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from T1DM, T2DM and GDM pat...
