Finds TIMP2 gene variants impact diabetic retinopathy progression in patients with diabetes, suggesting genetic factors in disease risk.
BACKGROUND/AIM: gene variations on the risk for DR. MATERIALS AND METHODS: gene (rs16971783, rs2889529, rs7220980, and rs8068674) in a cohort of 672 patients with DR and 919 diabetic controls with normal ophthalmoscopic findings. RESULTS: gene expression in various human tissues. CONCLUSION: gene might contribute to the progression of DR.
