Introduction: T2DM is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the UK. Epigenetic mechanisms impact gene expression and could predispose individuals to a particular metabolic phenotype. We investigated association of LINE-1 methylation (a surrogate of global DNA methylation) with cardiometabolic parameters in a longitudinal cohort of T2DM patients.Methods: Global LINE-1 DNA methylation in blood-derived DNA samples from 795 (men 60%, women 40%...

Introduction: Hypogonadism is associated with poorer glycaemic outcomes/increased all cause and cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Increasing CAG repeat number within exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene is associated with increased androgen receptor resistance/insulin resistance. We here investigated the link between CAG repeat number and outcomes in T2DM men.Methods: We determined in a long-term 14-year follow-up coh...
