糖尿病视网膜病变相关基因多态性的研究进展

Research progress of diabetic retinopathy related gene polymorphism

糖尿病视网膜病变(diabetic retinopathy,DR)为糖尿病的严重并发症之一,是目前全球第二大致盲性疾病。早期的流行病学资料表明,其发生发展与血糖水平、糖尿病病程、血脂等多种因素相关。近年来,基因多态性与DR发生的相关性受到广泛关注。准确把握基因在DR发生发展过程中的作用机制及其表达的差异性,对DR早期诊断和防治具有重要意义。因此本文对DR发生有关的基因研究进展进行综述。

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the serious complications of diabetes, is currently the world＇s second largest blinding disease. Early epidemiological data showed that the development is related to blood sugar level, diabetes duration, blood lipids, and other factors. In recent years, the correlation of gene polymorphism with DR received widespread attention. Accurately grasp the genetic mechanism in the process of development in the DR and the differences of expression, is of great significance to DR early diagnosis and prevention. So in this article, the progress of gene of DR were reviewed.
