| Abstract | ||
| Genetics contribute to the development of type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), its complications, and phenotypes such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) and obesity. Although the likely associations among the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) gene, DN and obesity have been massively investigated, the results are still controversial. This study aimed to assess whether ENPP1 K121Q (A/C rs1044498) variant is associated with DN and obesity in T2DM Egyptian patients. We genotyped this variant in a total of 183 T2DM Egyptian patients who were classified into cases (91 participants with moderately increased albuminuria or severely increased albuminuria ≥ 30 mg/g) and controls (92 patients with normoalbuminuria <30 mg/g) using TaqMan technology. | ||
