Association between the ICAM-1 K469E polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus: a meta-analysis

Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2014 May;104(2):e46-9. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2014.01.028. Epub 2014 Feb 10.

Abstract

A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of ICAM-1 K469E gene polymorphism with diabetic retinopathy susceptibility in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Seven studies involving 1094 cases and 909 controls were included. Current studies suggest that K469E polymorphism in ICAM-1 gene might not affect individual susceptibility to DR.

Keywords: Diabetic retinopathy; ICAM-1 polymorphism; Meta-analysis; Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
