Transcription factor 7-like 2 polymorphisms and diabetic retinopathy: a systematic review
“Transcription factor 7-like 2 polymorphisms and diabetic retinopathy: a systematic review”, vol. 13, pp. 5865-5872, 2014.
, The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has increased, as well as complications including diabetic retinopathy. Polymorphisms in transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) have been associated with T2DM, with the strongest association attributed to the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs7903146. In this review, we searched the current literature to determine whether an association exists between TCF7L2 polymorphisms rs7903146 with diabetic retinopathy.
