Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the contribution of PKC-beta gene (PRKCB1) polymorphisms to diabetic kidney disease in a prospective observational follow-up study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 364 Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes without overt proteinuria were enrolled during 1996-1998 and followed until 2004. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (-1504C/T, -546C/G, -348A/G, -278C/T, and -238C/G) in...
