▶Microarray analysis of multiple candidate genes and associated plasma proteins for nephropathy secondary to type 2 diabetes among Chinese individualsAssociationN=932Lim SC et al.(2009)· Diabetologia
A case-control candidate gene study of 932 Chinese individuals (487 diabetic nephropathy cases, 445 controls) genotyped for 914 SNPs across 43 candidate genes identified common variants in NOX4 (GGCC haplotype OR=2.05-2.48, p=0.0055), endothelin-1 (rs1476046G>A OR=1.26-1.87, p=0.0072), and NOS1 (TGTC haplotype OR=1.26-1.57, p=0.0073) associated with diabetic nephropathy, plus a rare NOX1 coding variant (rs2071756G>A, R315H) found exclusively in cases. Variants correlated with differential plasma protein concentrations.
About EDN1
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate a secreted peptide that belongs to the endothelin/sarafotoxin family. This peptide is a potent vasoconstrictor and its cognate receptors are therapeutic targets in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Aberrant expression of this gene may promote tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
