Non‐diabetic DDOST+/−Pod−Cre mice also had elevated serum creatinine compared to their wild‐type counterparts (Figure 2C—average 88% increase; p = .0034), which was further increased by diabetes (Figure 2C—58% increase; p = .043 for DDOST+/−Pod−Cre and 123% increase; p = .0047 for wild‐type). The gene discussed is DDOST; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
