Association of transcription factor 7-like 2 (rs7903146) gene polymorphism with diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most common diabetic complications. Genetic factors play an important role in the development and progression of DR. So, the present study aimed to investigate the association ofThis work is a case-control study in which 550 diabetic patients were enrolled. Among them, 280 diabetics with DR (120 T1DM and 160 with T2DM) and 270 diabetic patients without DR (120 T1DM and 150 with T2DM). Besides, 120 healthy subjects as a control group. Genotyping ofC allele and CC genotype ofThe present study revealed the association of
