Family history of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an important but neglected parameter; however, its role in identifying the heterogeneity and subtypes of type 1 diabetes (T1D) remains unclear. We investigated the effect of family history of T2D on the clinical phenotype of T1D patients and evaluated its value in T1D classification. A total of 1410 T1D pa...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have different presentations and prognoses. Cluster analysis based on proteomic signatures creates independent phenogroups of patients with different pathophysiological backgrounds. We aimed to identify distinct pathophysiological clusters of RA patients based on circulating proteomic biomarkers. This was a c...

The protein 4.1 and membrane palmitoylated protein (MPP) families were originally found as components in the erythrocyte membrane skeletal protein complex, which helps maintain the stability of erythrocyte membranes by linking intramembranous proteins and meshwork structures composed of actin and spectrin under the membranes. Recently, it has been ...
