Multivariate linear regression model that was constructed for CD34+phenotypes of MPCs demonstrated that even following an adjustment for eGFR, LVEF, NYHA functional class, diuretics, and T2DM, SUA had an independent impact of on the cell count of CD14+CD309+ MPCs and CD14+CD309+Tie2+ MPCs. The gene discussed is TEK; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
