Abstract excerpt
Compared to other complications the genetics of diabetic foot ulcer is poorly studied. The Interleukin (IL)-6 (-174G > C/rs1800795), Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-α (-308G > A/rs1800629) and (-238G > A/rs361525) and Stromal cell Derived Factor (SDF)-1 (+801G > A/rs1801157) are well characterized single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which were previously shown to be associated with Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU).
