Genetic variation of Glucose Transporter-1 (GLUT1) and albuminuria in 10278 European Americans and African Americans: a case-control study in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study

摘要

BackgroundEvidence suggests glucose transporter-1(GLUT1) genetic variation affects diabetic nephropathy and albuminuria. Our aim was to evaluate associations with albuminuria of six GLUT1 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs), particularly XbaI and the previously associated Enhancer-2(Enh2) SNP.
