Fig. 1From: FRMD3 gene: its role in diabetic kidney disease. A narrative reviewMap of the FRMD3 gene in chromosome 9q21-32. The 21 exons (boxes) are shown from left to right according to the transcription region. Black boxes represent encoding regions, the light grey box represents the promoter—5′ UTR region, and the white box represents the 3′ UTR region. Vertical arrows show the polymorphic sites associated with diabetic kidney disease. Seven splice variants for the FRMD3 gene are also shown in this figure.
