Biomarkers include expression profiles of plasma Extracellular vesicles (EVs)-derived small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs); the DNA methylation levels in blood; and the expression levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) in blood. The present project's activity is based on the creation of a deeply phenotyped cohort of healthy and affected individuals to collect clinical and genetic data. This approach will allow the exploitation of a large and well-documented dataset to identify specific genetic and epigenetic correlations, to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic cardiomyopathy, in order to identify new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis, monitoring, and potentially the development of targeted therapies for this condition.
