Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To examine the additive effect of the z-4 microsatellite polymorphism of aldose reductase gene (ALR2) and glycaemic control on risk of cataract in a prospective cohort of Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: The (CA)n microsatellite polymorphism of ALR2 was determined using PCR followed by capillary gel electrophoresis. Cataract was defined by presence of lens opacity on direct ophthalmoscopy or...
