Genetic risk score for risk prediction of diabetic nephropathy in Han Chinese type 2 diabetes patients

We evaluated whether genetic information could offer improvement on risk prediction of diabetic nephropathy (DN) while adding susceptibility variants into a risk prediction model with conventional risk factors in Han Chinese type 2 diabetes patients. A total of 995 (including 246 DN cases) and 519 (including 179 DN cases) type 2 diabetes patients were included in derivation and validation sets, respectively. A genetic risk score (GRS) was...
