  • Detecting genetic predisposition to sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy
    Publication number: 20050032077
    Abstract: A method and kit for predicting increased risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy which includes isolating genomic DNA from a sample from a diabetic patient. The genetic polymorphism pattern for the genes IL-1A, IL-1B and IL-1RN is then identified in the DNA. The identified pattern is compared with control patterns of known polymorphisms, and patients expressing a genetic polymorphism pattern associated with increased risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy are identified.
