 This paper examines the relationship between serum cystitin C levels and both diabetes and mortality among three different ethnicities. It found that higher levels of cystitin C are associated with increased risk of developing diabetes regardless of ethnicity. Additionally, it found that higher levels of cystitin C are also associated with increased risk of mortality again regardless of ethnicity. This suggests that cystitin C may be a useful marker for identifying those at risk for diabetes and mortality. This article was authored by Kevin Iganzales, Arianna M. Stickel, Sonia S. and others.
