New susceptibility loci associated with kidney disease in type 1 diabetes.

Niina Sandholm, +105 more
- 20 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of T1D DN revealed association of two SNPs with ESRD in the AFF3 gene and an intergenic SNP on chromosome 15q26 between the genes RGMA and MCTP2, which represent new signals in the pathogenesis of DN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking and progression of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes

TL;DR: Current smoking is a risk factor for the progression of diabetic nephropathy and the risk increases with the increasing dose of smoking, and ex-smokers seem to carry a similar risk of progression of insulin resistance as nonsmokers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Data-driven metabolic subtypes predict future adverse events in individuals with type 1 diabetes.

TL;DR: Data-driven multivariable metabolic subtypes predicted the divergence of complication burden across multiple clinical endpoints simultaneously and should be recognised as important subgroups in interventional studies and public health guidelines on type 1 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic susceptibility loci for diabetic end-stage renal disease identified through robust naive Bayes classification

TL;DR: This study supports the previously identified findings on the RGMA/MCTP2 region and suggests novel susceptibility loci for ESRD, and highlights the importance of applying complementary statistical methods to detect novel genetic variants in diabetic nephropathy and, in general, in complex diseases.
