Association of 18bp insertion/deletion polymorphism, at −2549 position of VEGF gene, with diabetic vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus

ConclusionsThe multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the D allele in the promoter region of the VEGF gene is an independent risk factor of DR irrespective of other laboratory and clinical variables in T2DM patients. Our study suggests that I/D allele in the studied gene is associated with HF and strokes.
