Abstract excerpt
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the gradual loss of renal function occurring in patients with diabetes. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1, encoded by SDF-1 gene) is a chemokine that binds to its receptor, CXCR4, to mediate many aspects of renal biology. To test the potential impact of SDF-1/CXCR4 gene variations on the risk for DKD, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SDF-1/CXCR4 genes were genotyped in...
