Abstract excerpt
We investigated the relationship between advanced diabetic retinopathy (ADR) and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism in subjects with type 2 diabetes and ADR, pre-proliferative (PrePDR) or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) without overt nephropathy. Polymerase chain reactions were used to detect insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms of the ACE gene. There was no difference in the...
