description Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common and serious complication of diabetes, contributing significantly to patient mortality. Complication of DN (CDN) ranks as the second leading cause of end-stage renal disease globally. To address this, understanding the genetic regulation underlying DN is crucial for personalized treatment strategies. In this study, we identified genes and lncRNAs associated with diabetes and diabetic nephropathy constructing a DN-related lncRNA–mRNA network (DNLMN). This network, characterized by scale-free biomolecular properties, generated through the study of topological properties, elucidates key regulatory interactions. Enrichment analysis of important network modules revealed critical biological processes and pathways involved in DN pathogenesis. In the second step, we investigated the differential expression and co-expression of hub nodes in diseased and normal individuals, identifying lncRNA-mRNA relationships implicated in disease regulation. Finally, we gathered DN-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and lncRNAs from the LincSNP 3.0 database. The DNLMN encompasses SNP-associated lncRNAs, and transcription factors (TFs) linked to differentially expressed lncRNAs between diseased and normal samples. These results underscore the significance of biomolecular networks in disease progression and highlighting the role of biomolecular variability contributes to personalized disease phenotyping and treatment.
