Linear regression analysis controlling for sex, hyperlipidaemia, CCIMT and CKD stage, showed that two SNPs in SLC2A1 (coding for the GLUT1 transporter), rs841848 and rs710218, and the rs3813008 variant in SLC5A2 (coding for SGLT2) were associated with eGFR values. The gene discussed is SLC5A2; the disease is chronic kidney disease.
