Changes in the expression profiles of lncRNAs in the LADA and T2DM groups. (a) The scatter plot reveals that a significant difference existed in the distribution of lncRNAs between the LADA group and the T2DM group. (b) The heat map depicts the hierarchical clustering of altered lncRNAs in the LADA group compared to the T2DM group. Red represents upregulation, while green represents downregulation. (c) The volcanic map displays the upregulated and downregulated lncRNAs in the LADA group compared to the T2DM group. LncRNAs—long noncoding RNAs; LADA—latent autoimmune diabetes in adults; T2DM—type 2 diabetes mellitus.
