IGF-1 gene polymorphisms (rs35767, rs6218, rs6212, rs972936, and rs6214) and the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Iraqi patients

The analysis of IGF-1 gene polymorphisms revealed significant genotype differences among the DR, DNR, and control groups, and it is worth noting that patients suffering from secondary complications of diabetes such as neuropathy and nephropathy were excluded, as were female participants.

Alteration in Growth Hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor- 1, and Vitamin D Levels in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy

The current study was designed to explore the association between growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and vitamin D with the cause and development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Iraqi patients. The study included ninety males, separated into two categories.: Thirty controls and sixty patients (3...
