Abstract excerpt
The genome-wide linkage disequilibrium screening for loci associated with genetic difference between diabetic patients with and without nephropathy was conducted employing 382 autosomal STR markers involving 185 diabetic subjects. Among them, 25 STR markers showed evidence for nominal association with a difference between the two diabetic groups. To investigate the reliability of the association result, the...
