Genetic association of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene variants with the risk for diabetic retinopathy: a meta-analysis

ConclusionThe meta-analysis suggested the substantial role ofVEGF polymorphism rs3025039 as a possible biomarker for the assessment of DR risk. However, genome-wide association study (GWAS) is required in future to elucidate the multi-SNP effect of these polymorphisms inVEGF gene.
