Molecular genetic approaches for studying the etiology of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract excerpt

A critical challenge faced by clinical nephrologists today is the escalating number of patients developing end stage renal disease, a major proportion of which is attributed to diabetic nephropathy (DN). The need for new measures to prevent and treat this disease cannot be overemphasized. To this end, modern genetic approaches provide powerful tools to investigate the etiology of DN. Human studies have already...
