In this scenario, the genetics of microRNAs is at a very preliminary stage. Notwithstanding, the study of genetics and epigenetics of miRNAs may well contribute to the identification of exploratory biomarkers of risk and pathogenetic mechanisms of diabetic neuropathy and to a comprehensive definition of susceptibility to specific pathogenetic mechanisms to favor a tailored mechanism-based treatment or prevention (Journal of Diabetes Research)

Epigenetic mechanisms in diabetic complications and metabolic memory
In this review, we highlight the emerging role of epigenetics and epigenomics in the vascular complications of diabetes and metabolic memory (Diabetologia)
