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 sibling pairs with retinopathy in both members. Four chromosomal regions with some evidence of linkage (P < 0.01; logarithm...
