Analysis of 710 ESRD patient samples and 361 controls provided no evidence of single SNP associations in either diabetic or non-diabetic ESRD; although nominal evidence of association with all-cause ESRD was observed with a two SNP (p = 0.022) and three SNP (p = 0.023) haplotype, both containing SNPs rs7490924 and rs2391335 in intron 1.
