Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis and development of human diabetic nephropathy involves genetic factors. Since human diabetic nephropathy is a heterogeneous disorder, identification of responsible gene loci is difficult. We studied candidate gene loci for diabetic nephropathy, using quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis of a spontaneous animal model for diabetic nephropathy: KK-Ay/Ta × normal BALB/cA F2 intercross...
