Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Genetic variation in the cubilin (CUBN) gene is associated with albuminuria and CKD. Common and rare coding variants in CUBN and the gene encoding its transport partner megalin (LRP2) were assessed for association with ESRD in blacks. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS: Sixty-six CUBN and LRP2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected and analyzed in this...
