Abstract excerpt
Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease in the world. Many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with diabetic nephropathy. SNPs at the 4.1 protein ezrin, radixin, moesin domain 3 (FRMD3) and cysteinyl t-RNA synthetase (CARS) genes have a well-established relationship with diabetic nephropathy. However, this association has not been evaluated in a Kuwaiti...
