- Abstract
The article discusses the study that determined the potential combined effect of smoking and the rs4972593 genetic variant on end-stage renal disease development in people with Type 1 diabetes. Findings discussed include risk of end-stage renal disease increased by minor allele of rs972593 in female non-smokers compared to those who carried the common allele, and minor allele decreased risk of end-stage renal disease in male non-smokers compared to men who carried the common allele.
