Our results conclude that TGF-β1 (rs1800470) may increase the risk of both ESRD and T2D in both populations, but TGF-β1 (rs1800469) provided risk for only ESRD in the population of Jammu and Kashmir.
There were significant differences between CKF patients and controls in allele frequencies of two of the SNPs, Leu10Pro (p = 0.038) and C-509T (p = 0.02) and in haplotype distributions (p = 0.0175), indicating an association with susceptibility to CKF.
