Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have shown that genetic variants are linked to diabetic nephropathy (DN), the precise gene responsible for influencing risk remains largely unidentified, and the issue of missing heritability persists. This study seeks to identify new pathogenic genes using transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) analysis in a cohort with renal biopsy-proven DN....
