CD8A and chronic kidney disease: Our analysis identified both absolute and relative counts of CD28 + CD45RA + CD8 + T cell (OR = 1.01; 95% CI = 1.01–1.02; p < 0.001, FDR = 0.018) (OR = 1.01; 95% CI = 1.00–1.01; p < 0.001, FDR = 0.002), CD28 on CD39 + CD8 + T cell(OR = 0.97; 95% CI = 0.96–0.99; p < 0.001, FDR = 0.006), CD16 on CD14–CD16 + monocyte (OR = 1.02; 95% CI = 1.01–1.03; p < 0.001, FDR = 0.004) and cytokines, such as IL-17A(OR = 1.11, 95% CI = 1.06–1.16, p < 0.001, FDR = 0.001), and LIF-R(OR = 1.06, 95% CI = 1.02–1.10, p = 0.005, FDR = 0.043) that are genetically predisposed to influence the risk of CKD.
