Major susceptibility locus for nephropathy in type 1 diabetes on chromosome 3q: results of novel discordant sib-pair analysis.
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) clusters in families with type 1 diabetes and the degree of clustering suggests that a major gene having a common disease allele may be responsible. To investigate the chromosomal regions containing genes for the renin-angiotensin system, we performed a linkage study using pairs of siblings with type 1 diabetes who were discordant for DN. Theoretical considerations supported by...
