(md5sum: ea27368f59e7dc65cffdfb7d904e1d32)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 343,339 individuals and adjusted for age, sex and diabetes-status. These can be considered equivalent to GWAS summary statistics on eGFR-decline adjusted for age and sex (not adjusted for diabetes-status): when comparing these summary statistics to summary statistics for eGFR-decline adjusted for age and sex (not adjusted for diabetes-status) in a subgroup, we found no difference in terms of beta-estimates, standard errors, P-values (Gorski et al., Kidney Int. 2022).

(md5sum: 1a64e96fb5945803642c8f6f38a9429b)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 320,737 individuals and adjusted for age, sex and eGFR-baseline. The adjusting for eGFR-baseline here, and in general, for GWAS on eGFR-decline can induce a collider bias for genetic variants that are associated with eGFR-baseline; these summary statistics should thus be used with an understanding of such a collider bias.

(md5sum: ea427d8c34cd4db798492c0377cffe86)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 37,375 individuals with diabetes at baseline adjusted for age and sex.

(md5sum: d040d352a2a60f27909fc109d9e1292c)
These GWAS summary statistics for eGFR-decline are based on 26,653 individuals with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at baseline and can be considered genetic effects on CKD-progression. Similar to the adjusting for eGFR-baseline, the restriction to individuals with CKD at baseline can induce a bias in beta-estimates for genetic variants that are associated with CKD at baseline.

Here you can download summary statistics from our diabetes-stratified GWAS meta-analysis on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, Winkler et al. Commun Biol 2022): 

• eGFR stratified by diabetes-status (mostly European; n_DM=178,691 vs. n_NoDM=1,296,113): meta_egfr_dmstrat_stage1plus2.txt.gz 
• eGFR stratified by diabetes-status (EUR-only; n_DM=136,824 vs. n_NoDM=1,142,422): meta_egfr_dmstrat_stage1plus2_EURonly.txt.gz 
• Find here a short readme.txt with a description of the columns included. 

The genome-wide association summary statistics contain genetic effects on log(eGFR) in individuals with diabetes, in individuals without diabetes, a difference test P-Value and a 2-degree-of-freedom chi-squared joint (main+interaction) test P-Value.

The results are derived from the all ancestry Stage 1+2 meta-analysis (up to 178,691 individuals with diabetes and 1,296,113 individuals without diabetes, mostly European ancestry) or from the European-only Stage 1+2 meta-analysis (up to 136,824 individuals with diabetes and 1,142,422 individuals without diabetes, all European ancestry) . Further details on the phenotype transformation or sample inclusions can be found in the paper (Winkler et al. Commun Biol 2022).

Rapid kidney function decline - Summary Statistics

From the annual eGFRcrea decline we derived two case-control-definitions: (1) “Rapid3” cases defined as eGFRcrea decline of >3 mL/min/1.73m² per year compared to “no decline” (1 to +1 mL/min/1.73m² per year), (2) ”CKDi25” cases defined as ≥25% eGFRcrea decline during follow-up together with a movement from eGFRcrea≥60 mL/min/1.73m² at baseline to eGFRcrea<60 mL/min/1.73m² at follow-up compared to “CKDi25” controls defined as eGFRcrea≥60 mL/min/1.73m² at baseline and follow-up. Both binary phenotype were adjusted for sex, age and baseline eGFRcrea.
