Epigenetic alterations in human liver from subjects with type 2 diabetes in parallel with reduced folate levels.

• Epigenetic variation may contribute to the development of complex metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). Hepatic insulin resistance is a hallmark of T2D. However, it remains unknown if epigenetic alterations take place in the liver from diabetic subjects. Therefore, we investigated the genome-wide DNA methylation pattern in the liver from subjects with T2D and non-diabetic controls and related epigenetic alterations to gene expression and circulating folate levels.
