Genome-Wide Association Study to Identify Genetic Variants Associated With Diabetic Maculopathy
The study suggests several promising SNPs and genes related to diabetic maculopathy risk. Despite being the largest genetic study of diabetic maculopathy to date, larger, homogeneous cohorts will be required to identify robust genetic risk loci for the disease.
