Association of a cystatin C gene variant with cystatin C levels, CKD, and risk of incident cardiovascular disease and mortality

Carriers of the T allele of the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs13038305 tend to have lower cystatin C levels and higher cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcys). Adjusting for this genetic effect on cystatin C concentrations may improve GFR estimation, reclassify cases of ch...
