Update on genetics and diabetic retinopathy

Abstract excerpt

Clinical risk factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR), such as duration of disease and degree of glucose control, do not adequately predict disease progression in individual patients, suggesting the presence of a genetic component. Multiple smaller studies have investigated genotype-phenotype correlations in genes encoding vascular endothelial growth factor, aldose reductase, the receptor for advanced glycation end...
