PURPOSE: We tested the hypothesis that genetic variants in vasoactive and angiogenic factors regulating the retina vasculature contribute to the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS: A case-control study was performed to study the genetic association between DR and polymorphic variants of EDN1 (Lys198Asn), LTA (IVS1-80C>A, IVS1-206G>C, IVS1-252A>G), eNOS (Glu298Asp), and ITGA2 (BgI II) in a Chinese...
