Aims: Early-onset type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (18-45 years) is rising globally, yet complication incidence in this group remains unclear. We investigated the incidence of early-onset T2DM, the incidence of micro- and macrovascular complications, and how comorbidities (e.g.

Thrombosis in MPN involves JAK2V617F-associated platelet activation and endothelial dysfunction, all potentially influenced by chronic inflammation. Whether the mutation affects thromboinflammatory markers similarly in non-MPN patients remains unclear.

Recently considerable progress has been made in characterising the adult methylome, in epigenome-wide association studies. We report detailed analysis of the circulating methylome in 86 patients with childhood-onset CD,UC and 30 controls using the Illumina Infinium Human MethylationEPIC platform.
