Abstract:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of renal failure globally including chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Using comprehensive linkage disequilibrium mapping, we genotyped five polymorphisms from engulfment and cell motility 1 (ELMO1) gene (rs741301, rs7799004, rs1882080, rs11769038 and rs1345365) to evaluate its association with DN. BMI was observed to be low in DN cases as compared to the control groups, which is the result of haemodialysis and high doses of medication. Physica… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
