Scheme of the study by Pan et al.1 They carried out a series of analyses including gene expression profiling of renal biopsy samples, identification of Slit‐Robo Rho‐guanosine triphosphatase activating protein 2a (SRGAP2a) that is relevant for diabetic nephropathy and characterization of the molecule using various models. DKD, diabetic kidney disease; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration ratio; WGCNA, weighted gene co‐expression network analysis.
