Abstract excerpt
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). We hypothesize that variants in these genes may be associated with DN. The CCL5 and chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) genes were resequenced, variants identif...
