ABSTRACT

Diabetic retinopathy is a complex trait since it depends on environmental and genetic factors for its development. Among them, the early therapy with insulin, the degree of metabolic control, time evolution of diabetes and different genetic polymorphisms. We conducted an exhaustive search of the literature, and in the Mexican population we only found five genes associated with diabetic retinopathy; APOE, CYP19A1, ALR2, HLA-DR7, and ADRB3. We concluded that, considering the molecular heterogeneity of the DM2 and DR in Mexican population, is required more studies with candidate genes. A new frontier for research in DR, are the variant of the ELMO1, CUBN and LRP2 genes
