Abstract excerpt
AIM: Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI1) plays a key role in the regulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. ThePAI1 gene is therefore an excellent candidate gene for diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to employ gene resequencing to identify common DNA polymorphisms in thePAI1gene, and subsequently assess haplotype tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms(htSNPs) using a case control...
