Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Variants and Risk of Diabetic Retinopathy

Genetic association studies to date have not identified any robust risk loci for diabetic retinopathy (DR). We hypothesized that individuals with more diabetes genetic risk alleles have a higher risk of developing DR.Case-control genetic association study.We evaluated the aggregate effects of multiple type 2 diabetes-associated genetic variants on the risk of DR among 1528 participants with diabetes from the Singapore Epidemiology of Eye...
