A genetic variant, rs1866813, in the noncoding region at 3q22 was associated with increased risk of DN (overall p = 7.07 x 10(-6), combined odds ratio [OR] of the allele = 1.33).
We have previously reported genetic association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs1866813, at 3q locus with increased risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN).
