Expression profile of microRNAs may be promising in diagnosis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy: an Egyptian study

ConclusionMicroRNAs play a role in pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In our study, miR-181c and miR-1179 were significantly high in PDR patients compared to NPDR and controls hence can be used to anticipate and follow up the progression. MicroRNA antagonists or mimics can be tried as new medications to modify DR by reducing the rate of progression, and subsequent blindness.
