Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1) genetic variation affects diabetic nephropathy and albuminuria. Our aim was to evaluate associations with albuminuria of six GLUT1 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs), particularly XbaI and the previously associated Enhancer-2 (Enh2) SNP. METHODS: A two-stage case-control study was nested in a prospective cohort study of 2156 African Americans and 8122...
