Abstract excerpt
We longitudinally evaluated the association between monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) A-2518G polymorphism and new onset of diabetic retinopathy in 758 type 2 diabetic patients. The new onset of retinopathy increased with the increase of the number of G alleles, even after adjustment for age, HbA1c levels, and duration of diabetes.
