Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Elevated levels of plasma leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein 1 (LRG1), a component of transforming growth factor beta signaling, are associated with development and progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, whether this relationship is causal is uncertain. OBJECTIVES: To identify genetic variants associated with plasma LRG1 levels and determine whether genetically...
