Core Tip

Core Tip: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a serious complication of diabetes with no typical clinical manifestations at the beginning of the disease, and treatment efficacy is poor. Currently, it is believed that the pathogenesis of DN is associated with environmental and genetic factors. In this study, we found that CT + TT genotype in glucokinase regulatory protein rs780094 is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes complicated with albuminuria at the genetic level.
