Moreover, patients with type II diabetes mellitus had a significantly higher rate of absolute podocin (3.7737 ± 3.6283 vs. 2.2527 ± 1.6998, p < 0.0001) and nephrin counts (4.7039 ± 4.1761 vs. 2.5924 ± 1.7954, p < 0.0001) as well as a higher rate of podocin (4.5012 ± 5.2214 vs. 2.4211 ± 1.8751, p < 0.0001) and nephrin to creatinine ratio (5.6045 ± 5.2041 vs. 2.7894 ± 2.0667), p < 0.0001 compared to non-diabetics. Here, NPHS2 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
