Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence, including familial aggregation, suggest that allelic variation contributes to risk of diabetic nephropathy. To assess the evidence for specific susceptibility genes, we used the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) to analyze 115 candidate genes for linkage and association with diabetic nephropathy. A comprehensive survey of this sort has not been undertaken before. Single nucleotide...
