Association of rs4340 polymorphisms with DN in Caucasians with logistic regression.

Inheritance ModelGenotypeCases (n=276)Controls (n=375)Unadjusted OR (95% CI)/p ValueAdjusted OR (95% CI)/p Value

p Values were adjusted for duration of hypertension, systolic blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, DR, diabetic foot, Hb A1c, serum-fasting glucose, serum urea, serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, urine albumin/creatinine ratio (g/mol): samples #1/#3.
