Genetic Factors in the Development of Kidney Chronic Disease in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) represent a risk group for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), the terminal stages of which require renal replacement therapy. The study of genetic predisposition to CKD is of special significance from the perspective of the prediction and identification of risk groups at the preclinical stage. The present study is a review of the world literature on the genetics of CKD in diabetes and also includes data of our own studies.English translation of the paper published in Russian Journal of Genetics, 2017, Vol. 53, No. 4, is available ONLINE by subscription from: http://www.springer.com/, http://link.springer. com/journal/11177
