Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation may contribute to the pathogenesis of DR. We aimed at elucidating the role of novel DNA methylation modifications in diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using an extreme phenotypic design. METHODS/RESULTS: Two consecutive studies were conducted. A cross-sectional study using an extreme phenotypic design...
