Request for Applications: Discovery of Susceptibility and Resistance Genes in Diabetic Kidney Disease
Diabetic Nephropathy is a complex phenotype likely caused by the interaction between
susceptibility alleles and environmental factors. There is evidence for a genetic susceptibility to
diabetic kidney disease, but despite intensive research efforts through candidate gene searches,
it has proved difficult to identify the causative genes.
