AIMS: Variants in the aldose reductase gene (AKR1B1) have been implicated in the development of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy, with the most convincing data identifying a (CA)(n) repeat microsatellite allele (Z-2), which has a functional role in gene expression. In this study the association between polymorphisms in the AKR1B1 gene and diabetic neuropathy was investigated. METHODS: The pupillary response...
