  • DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS USING LONG NONCODING RNAS AS TARGETS
    Publication number: 20230250478
    Abstract: Method of identifying a subject as having an increased likelihood of progressing to end-organ damage due to diabetes comprising comparing the amount of a lncRNA in a sample from the subject with a reference value, and if the amount of the lncRNA in the sample is increased relative to the reference value, identifying the subject as having an increased probability of progressing to end-organ damage due to diabetes. The lncRNA is one or more of HOTAIR, H19, WISPER, ZFAS1, HULC, ANRIL, MALAT1, MIAT, and MEG3. Also methods of treating chronic diabetic complications and other conditions comprising administering a HOTAIR inhibitor.
