Abstract excerpt
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy; however, to date there have been no reports of genomic analysis on this gene. The CTGF gene was comprehensively screened using WAVE (dHPLC) technology and direct capillary sequencing. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequencies greater than 5% were further investigated in an Irish, type...
