Aldose reductase (-106) C/T gene polymorphism and associated risk factors with proliferative diabetic retinopathy in Palestine: A cross sectional study.

Background And Aims: Genetic variants play a crucial role in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the relationship between aldose reductase () (C106T) polymorphism with proliferative DR and associated risk factors in Palestinian type 2 diabetic patients.
