Polymorphism in exon 7 of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene is associated with low incidence of microvascular damage in type 1 diabetic neuropathy
Microvascular complications associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are caused in part by endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to determine the association between polymorphisms in endothelial nitric oxid...

Correlation of low molecular weight advanced glycation end products and nitric oxide metabolites with chronic complications in type 1 diabetic patients
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are involved in the occurrence of vascular complications in diabetes. The present study was undertaken to investigate the level of low-molecular weight products of AGEs (...

Robust associations of four new chromosome regions from genome-wide analyses of type 1 diabetes
The Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) primary genome-wide association (GWA) scan1 on seven diseases, including the multifactorial autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes (T1D), shows associations at P < 5...

A genome-wide association study of nonsynonymous SNPs identifies a type 1 diabetes locus in the interferon-induced helicase (IFIH1) region
In this study we report convincing statistical support for a sixth type 1 diabetes (T1D) locus in the innate immunity viral RNA receptor gene region IFIH1 (also known as mda-5 or Helicard) on chromosome 2q24.3. W...

Parameters for reliable results in genetic association studies in common disease
It is increasingly apparent that the identification of true genetic associations in common multifactorial disease will require studies comprising thousands rather than the hundreds of individuals employed to d...
