Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding the pore-forming subunit of the voltage-gated K+ channel (KCNQ1) as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Tacrolimus (Tac) increased the risk of new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT). The aim of this study was to analyze the association between KCNQ1 variants and the risk for NODAT in...
