Background: The reticulon 1 gene (RTN1) encodes reticulons, endoplasmic reticulum stress proteins recently implicated in kidney disease progression. Methods:RTN1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were tested for association with type 2 diabetes (T2D)-associated end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in African Americans (AAs) and European Americans (EAs), and AAs with non-diabetic ESKD. RTN1 SNPs that were associated with T2D-ESKD in AA cases compared to non-nephropathy controls were identified from a discovery genome-wide association study (n = 1,797), then tested for replication in 1,847 additional AA T2D-ESKD cases and controls. Results: Three intronic RTN1 variants were nominally associated with T2D-ESKD in both discovery and replication analyses: rs1952034, rs12431381 and rs12434215 (additive models); combined T2D-ESKD (discovery + replication) p values were 0.015-3.0 × 10-4 (ORs 0.67-0.77; minor alleles protective). In addition, rs12434215 was weakly associated with T2D-ESKD in 557 EA T2D-ESKD cases contrasted with 753 EA non-nephropathy controls (p = 0.019; OR 0.69, dominant model). Nominal association extended to non-diabetic causes of ESKD in 1,459 additional AA cases (rs12431381 and rs12434215 p values 0.014-0.015; OR 0.77). An all-cause ESKD association analysis contrasted the 3,594 AA ESKD cases with 1,489 AA non-nephropathy controls and detected association with rs12434215 (p = 6.7 × 10-4, OR 0.73) and rs12431381 (p = 7.5 × 10-4, OR 0.75) in dominant models. Of the 3 SNPs, only rs12434215 was weakly associated with T2D per se when contrasting T2D non-nephropathy cases with non-diabetic controls (additive model p = 0.032 AAs; p = 0.048 EAs). Conclusions: These results suggest evidence of genetic association between common variants in RTN1 and ESKD in AAs and EAs. %I Karger Publishers
