Evaluation of Glutathione Peroxidase and KCNJ11 Gene Polymorphisms in Patients with New Onset Diabetes Mellitus After Renal Transplantation.

Abstract

Introduction Genetic mutations such as C599T polymorphism in glutathione peroxidase [GPX1] gene and polymorphisms in potassium channel (KCNJ11) genes have recently been proposed in the etiopathogenesis of new onset diabetes mellitus after renal transplantation (NODAT). We aimed to examine the association of GPX1 and KCNJ11 polymorphisms in NODAT.
