MTHFR gene polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy.

Current diabetes reviews - 1 Nov 2006

Maeda Makiko, Fujio Yasushi, Azuma Junichi

Abstract excerpt

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of catastrophic loss of vision. Each year, DR darkens the lives of 12,000 to 24,000 diabetic patients in the United States, and more than 4,000 patients in Japan. Clinically, hyperglycemia induces proliferative changes in DR synergistically with other risk factors for vascular diseases. Methyl- enetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an enzyme involved in...
