In the database of Nephroseq (https://www.nephroseq.org), under the name ‘Ju CKD Glom’, are previously reported gene expression arrays performed using human kidney samples from patients with kidney diseases and healthy living donors; compared with normal controls, glomerular KAT5 expression was decreased in diabetic nephropathy, whereas it was not changed in hypertensive nephrosclerosis. This evidence concerns the gene KAT5 and diabetic kidney disease.
