Risk factors for cataract in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes: evidence for the influence of the aldose reductase gene.

Clinical genetics - 1 May 2001

Abstract excerpt

There is evidence that the development of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes is associated with a microsatellite polymorphism at 5' of the aldose reductase gene. The study examined whether cataract was associated with clinical/metabolic factors and/or the microsatellite polymorphism using a cohort of consecutively recruited Hong Kong Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (n=567). Amongst these patients, 157 (28%) had...
