Genes/Pathways/SNPs studied.

1. MAF = Minor allele frequency determined in this dataset.2. p values for unadjusted association with nephropathy.3. Odds ratios are given for the comparison between the rare and common alleles. CI denotes confidence interval.4. p value for logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, duration of diabetes and type of diabetes.5. SNPs included in the model are shown in bold.
