Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We recently reported that genetic variability in the TKT gene encoding transketolase, a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, is associated with measures of diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSPN) in recent-onset diabetes. Here, we aimed to substantiate these findings in a population-based KORA F4 study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed seven single nucleotide...
