In this study, the association between the common rs10011025 variant in the GLRA3 locus, and albuminuria, was confirmed in 1259 independent Finnish individuals with type 1 diabetes (p = 0.0013), and meta-analysis of all Finnish individuals yielded a genome-wide significant association. | Confirmation of GLRA3 as a susceptibility locus for albuminuria in Finnish patients with type 1 diabetes.
