Family-based association results between DN-associated SNPs and ESRD among diabetic family members.

#Families = number of nuclear families informative for the FBAT analysis.S-E(S) = observed minus the expected transmission for each allele.Var(S) = variance of the observed transmission for each allele.Z score: positive values indicate risk alleles (i.e., increased transmission to affected individuals), negative values indicate protective alleles (i.e., reduced transmission to affected individuals).*Risk allele reported in Pezzolesi et al.
