Blood DNA methylation profiling identifies candidate diabetic kidney disease risk signatures in the PROPHECY Aboriginal Diabetes Study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers looked at blood samples from 95 people to find signs of high risk for kidney disease. They found specific DNA patterns that matched different risk levels. This shows a link between these blood markers and disease risk, but it is not proof that the markers cause the disease.
