[Source: TGen] – Researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) will make two presentations at this week’s 70th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association, June 25-29, in Orlando, Florida.
One presentation describes a DNA study of American Indians in Arizona, in which a TGen-led team discovered a genetic biomarker with a significant association to kidney failure.
The study showed “the strongest evidence” for association with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or kidney failure, in marker rs13315275, and also found evidence of some lesser associations between ESRD and four other markers.
