Table 2. Top signals from genome-wide associations studies examining diabetic kidney disease.

Legend: * After combined meta-analysis (meta-analysis results for GENIE discovery cohorts + meta-analysis results for independent replication cohorts), these signals reached genome-wide significance in the analysis. ^† This study selected patients who passed the genetic quality control thresholds, and had 24-h albumin exertion rate (AER). Abbreviations: DKD – diabetic kidney disease, OR – odd ratio, NA – not available, ESRD – end-stage renal disease, CKD – chronic kidney disease, T2D – type 2 diabetes, AER – albumin exertion rate.
