Background

A large number of genetic association studies for unraveling the genetic basis of renal disease in diabetes have been carried out using polymorphisms in candidate genes from various postulated biochemical and metabolic pathways. These include renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), protein kinase C (PKC)-polyol, advanced glycation end (AGE) product, hexosamine and oxidative stress. However the results are confusing and identification of genetic susceptibility to chronic renal insufficiency ...
