Abstract excerpt
AIM: To investigate whether chimerin 2 (CHN2) genetic polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Taiwanese individuals with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: This case-control study comprised of 171 individuals with DR and 548 without DR. Four rs39059, rs2023908, rs1002630 and rs1362363 polymorphism of CHN2 were genotyped for each subjects. All subjects underwent a complete...
