*Equivalent to the early DKD phenotype from Sandholm et al. (17).

†Not all studies were able to define microalbuminuria (due to limited information on microalbuminuric status) and thus the case and control group number is smaller than all DKD and late DKD.

‡The duration of diabetes for subjects with T1D was >15 years.
