Abstract excerpt
The purpose of the present study was to identify genetic variants which confer susceptibility to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in high- or low-risk subjects defined by conventional risk factors separately. The study population comprised 2828 Japanese individuals, including 434 subjects with CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2)] and 2394 controls (eGFR > or =60 ml/min/ 1.73 m(2))....
