Forkhead Box Protein3 Transcription Factor (FOXP3) gene is an essential role player in the function and differentiation of regulatory T cells. Polymorphisms/mutations in FOXP3 gene cause Treg cell dysfunction, promote autoimmunity and inflammation. Based on this presumption, we screened 600 subjects from south India (equal number of diabetic (T2DM), diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) and healthy controls) for promoter...
