High quality data can be obtained provided a sufficient yield of genomic DNA is isolated. Despite optimizing various extraction methodologies, the modest amount of genomic DNA derived from urine, may limit the generalisability of this approach for the identification of DNA methylation biomarkers of chronic diabetic kidney disease.
