Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The development of diabetic retinopathy is associated with the duration of diabetes and HbA1c levels. However, the familial aggregation of diabetic retinopathy is consistent with genetic susceptibility. Recently, a -634C/G polymorphism in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene was shown to be associated with diabetic retinopathy. To clarify the contribution of the VEGF gene in the...
