Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by hyperglycemia caused by insufficient insulin release from pancreatic islets, often in combination with insulin resistance. Here the authors present an epigenetic case-control study in human pancreatic islets revealing changes that contribute to type 2 diabetes development, e.g., epigenetic downregulation of RHOT1.
