FSKAT gene-level analysis identifies genes associated with DN in core podocyte network. (A) Graphical representation of the core podocyte network that includes the genes associated with DN by F-SKAT analysis in the discovery cohort. Node color indicates the statistical significance (P value) of the F-SKAT test. White color nodes indicates podocyte network genes not detected in this study. (B) The F-SKAT–associated genes within the podocyte network are enriched (adjusted P<0.05) for several pathways; top six pathways and contributing genes are reported. Full functional enrichment results are reported in Supplemental Table 6. (C) Details on the PRKCE gene that showed the highest association with DN (by F-SKAT) and location of the intronic SNVs associated with DN. For each SNV, the association with DN is reported by OR tested in either a recessive or dominant model. Full statistics and regulatory information on the SNVs are reported in Supplemental Table 4B.
