Association between the VEGFR-2 -604T/C polymorphism (rs2071559) and type 2 diabetic retinopathy

Abstract: This retrospective case–control study examined the association between the rs2071559 (-604T/C) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 gene and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Northern Han Chinese. This study included patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus (DM) in Shijiazhuang between 07/2014 and 07/2016. The healthy controls were unrelated individuals who received routine physical examinations. The diabetic patients were grouped as DM (diabetes but no fundus examination abnormalities), proliferative DR (PDR), and non-proliferative DR (NPDR). Finally, 438 patients were included: 114 controls and 123, 105, and 96 patients in the DM, NPDR, and PDR groups, respectively. In the multivariable analyses and all genetic models, the VEGFR-2 rs2071559 SNP was not associated with DR (among all diabetic patients) or with PDR (among the patients with DR) after adjustment for age, sex, duration of DM, blood glucose, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and body mass index (all P > 0.05). In conclusion, the VEGFR-2- 604T/C rs2071559 SNP is not associated with DR or PDR in the Han Chinese population of Shijiazhuang (China).
