Why the study?
Are LEKR1-CCNL1 and IGSF21-KLHDC7A gene polymorphisms associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Are LEKR1-CCNL1 and IGSF21-KLHDC7A gene polymorphisms associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
LEKR1-CCNL1 and IGSF21-KLHDC7A gene polymorphisms are significantly associated with the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy in Chinese Han patients with type 2 diabetes.
These polymorphisms were associated with DR risk in T2DM; hypothesis-generating, requires validation before any clinical use.
