The minor alleles of the KNG1 rs5030062 and rs710446 variants, which have previously been associated with increased plasma pre-kallikrein and/or factor XI (FXI) protein levels, were associated with higher eGFR (rs5030062 β = 0.03, p = 0.01; rs710446 β = 0.03, p = 0.005) in the FinnDiane cohort of 4400 individuals with type 1 diabetes. This evidence concerns the gene F11 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
