The development of diabetic retinopathy is associated with the duration of diabetes and HbA1c levels. However, the familial aggregation of diabetic retinopathy is consistent with genetic susceptibility. Recently, a -634C/G polymorphism in the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene was shown to be associated with diabetic retinopathy. To clarify the contribution of the VEGF gene in the development of diabetic retinopathy we analyzed variants in this gene among 469 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
