Standard DXA measurements, including FRAX scores, are limited in assessing fracture risk in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Novel, general applicable biomarkers are therefore needed. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are secreted into the circulation from cells of various tissues proportional to local disease severity. Serum miRNA classifiers including miR-550a-5p were recently found to discriminate T2D women without and with prevalent fragility fractures with high specificity and sensitivity (AUC&#6...
