Ethnic differences in adiposity and diabetes risk – insights from genetic studies [PDF]
, 2020 Type 2 diabetes is more common in non-Europeans and starts at a younger age and at lower BMI cut-offs. This review discusses the insights from genetic studies about pathophysiological mechanisms which determine risk of disease with a focus on the role of

Venous Thromboembolism in Kidney Diseases and Genetic Predisposition
Kidney Diseases, 2022 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Many renal diseases have been associated with profound clinical effects on thrombosis. To our knowledge, patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) display an elevated risk of vein thrombosis, which is among the common causes of mortality in patients with renal diseases.
