Abstract excerpt
In insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM) the development of nephropathy is partly due to genetic susceptibility. Previously one study has demonstrated a relationship between a HindIII restriction polymorphism of the collagen IV alpha 1-chain gene and diabetic nephropathy. The aim of...
