Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene locus rs1799752 insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Case-control study. Type 2 diabetes patients were recruited and assigned into DR group, which included proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group or diabetes without retinopathy (DWR) group....
