Figure 1 Combinational effects by which RAS gene polymorphisms confer susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy.17 The upper table indicates the results of a step-wise logistic regression analysis. The lower panel indicates the increased odds ratio according to the number of risk genotypes. 95% CIs are indicated in parenthesis.
