Lack of Association between TLR4 Genetic Polymorphisms and Diabetic Nephropathy in a Chinese Population
Objective. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays a central role in innate immunity. Activation of innate immune response and subsequent chronic low-grade inflammation are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether TLR4 variants are...
