values were calculated by multiple linear regression under an additive genetic model adjusted for age, gender, body mass index, duration of diabetes, and HbA1c; the effect values were evaluated by minor allele. was considered statistically significant. Chr: chromosome; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; uAER: urinary albumin excretion rate.
