The present study investigated whether SLC2A1 variants, certain 14 tag SNPs, are associated with the type 2 diabetes disease progression and with the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus leading to nephropathy and also provided the most comprehensive overview assessing for all genetic variants of SLC2A1 that have been examined in genetic association studies regarding diabetic nephropathy. This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and Nephropathy.
