Data are h2 ± SE (P value).

Covariates used for adjustment (see research design and methods).

Genetic (σG± SE) and environmental (σE± SE) SDs relating to the h2 ± SE estimates by group of relatives and estimate of GFR. Diabetic subjects only: CC-GFR = σG= 18.77 ± 2.68, σE= 20.58 ± 1.96; CG-GFR = σG= 22.53 ± 3.33, σE= 23.70 ± 2.48; and MDRD-GFR = σG= 13.77 ± 2.74, σE= 21.56 ± 1.64. Nondiabetic subjects only: CC-GFR = σG= 12.09 ± 2.35, σE= 16.25 ± 1.56; CG-GFR = σG= 11.12 ± 4.22, σE= 26.77 ± 1.86; and MDRD-GFR = σG= 10.69 ± 3.01, σE= 20.29 ± 1.57. All relatives: CC-GFR = σG= 13.23 ± 1.63, σE= 21.12 ± 0.95; CG-GFR = σG= 17.23 ± 2.10, σE= 25.52 ± 1.25; and MDRD-GFR = σG= 12.95 ± 1.73, σE= 20.81 ± 0.98.
