Clinical correlates, heritability, and genetic linkage of circulating CD40 ligand in the Framingham Offspring Study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been consistently shown to be higher among blacks and Hispanics compared to whites with unmeasured risk factors and access to care as suggested explanations. In a high-risk cohort with frequent protocol-directed follow-up, we evaluated the influence of race...
