Plain-language summary
Longitudinal genetic study in type 1 diabetes patients showing that a polymorphism in the carnosinase gene predicts who progresses from diabetic nephropathy to end-stage renal disease and who dies sooner. Direct human evidence that endogenous carnosine handling shapes diabetic outcomes.
Key takeaways
- ›Genetic variant predicts renal progression in T1DM.
- ›Connects carnosine biology to hard clinical endpoints.
- ›Motivates carnosine-augmenting strategies in nephropathy.
