29 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Hyperglycemia and long duration of diabetes are widely recognized risk factors for diabetic retinopathy, but inherited susceptibility may also play a role because retinopathy aggregates in families. A genome-wide linkage analysis was conducted in 211 sibships in which > or =2 siblings had diabetes and retinal photographs were available from a longitudinal study.
