BACKGROUND/AIMS: Solute carrier family 12 member 3 (SLC12A3) encodes a sodium/chloride transporter in kidneys. Previous reports suggest that Arg913Gln polymorphism in this gene is associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the data appear to be inconsistent. Up to now, there is no biological evidence concerning the effects of SLC12A3 in DN. In this study, we aim to evaluate the genetic effects of the SLC12A3...
