Diabetes mellitus (DM) complicates wound healing, partly due to excessive neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, a process regulated by the enzyme peptidyl-arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4). Circulating NET markers can predict the healing outcome of chronic wounds, but may not allow enough time for intervention as the accumulated NETs may have already damaged the tissue. In search for an early detectable risk marker, this study aimed at relating PADI4 haplotype, to PADI4 expression, NET forma...
