Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to identify loci influencing susceptibility to microvascular complications (nephropathy and retinopathy) in Pima Indians with type 2 diabetes. Affected sib-pair linkage analyses were performed on 98 diabetic sibling pairs with nephropathy in both members and on 103 sibli...
