An intergenic region on chromosome 13q33.3 is associated with the susceptibility to kidney disease in type 1 and 2 diabetes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We have recently found evidence for increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rats with lead-induced hypertension. We hypothesized that increased ROS activity may contribute to hypertension by enhancing inactivation of nitric oxide (NO) in this model. METHODS:Rats were treated for 12 weeks with either lead...
