ABSTRACT. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a major cause of ESRD, is undoubtedly multifactorial and is caused by environmental and genetic factors. To identify a genetic basis for DN susceptibility, we are collecting multiplex DN families in the Caucasian (CA) and African-American (AA) populations for whole genome scanning and candidate gene analysis. A candidate gene search of diabetic sibs discordantly affected, concordantly affected and concordantly unaffected for DN was performed with microsatellite markers in genomic regions suspected to harbor nephropathy susceptibility loci. Regions examined were at human chromosome 10p,10q (orthologous to the rat renal susceptibility Rf-1 locus), and at NPHS1 (nephrin), CD2AP, Wilms tumor (WT1), and NPHS2 (podocin) loci. Linkage analyses were conducted using model-free methods (SIBPAL, S.A.G.E.) for AA, CA, and the combined sample. Allele frequencies and the identity by descent sharing were estimated separately for AA and CA, and race was included as a covariate in the final linkage analysis. To date, we have collected 212 sib pairs from 46 CA and 50 AA families. The average age of diabetes onset was 46.8 yr versus 36.2 yr for CA and 39.5 yr versus 40.2 yr for AA, in males versus females respectively. Genotyping data were available for 106 sib pairs (43 CA, 63 AA) from 27 CA (44% male probands) and 38 AA families (43% male probands). Average AA and CA sibship size was 2.73. Singlepoint and multipoint linkage analyses indicate that marker D10S1654 on chromosome 10p is potentially linked to DN (CA only multipoint P = 4 x 10-3). Interestingly, the majority of the linkage evidence derives from the CA sib pairs. We are now adding sib pairs and increasing marker density on chromosome 10. We have excluded linkage with candidate regions for nephrin, CD2AP, WT1, and podocin in this sample. In conjunction with previous reports, our data support evidence for a DN susceptibility locus on chromosome 10. E-mail: ski@po.cwru.edu
