Objective: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) remains the most common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) as the burden of diabetes increases worldwide. Only 25 to 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) develop diabetic nephropathy irrespective of glycemic control so there should be a specific genetic basis for the development of diabetic nephropathy.
Methods: We have collected venous blood samples from 50 cases (Diabetic nephropathy) and 20 controls (T2DM without nephropathy) diagnosed by spot urine albumin creatinine ratio (ACR).
