Several recent studies have provided evidence that good diabetes control is important to prevent diabetic retinopathy. However, some groups of patients develop diabetic retinopathy despite good control and others escape retinopathy despite poor control. This suggests the role of genetic factors in susceptibility to retinopathy. This article reviews the role of genetic factors in determining diabetic retinopathy.
最近的几项研究提供了证据,表明良好的糖尿病控制对于预防糖尿病视网膜病变很重要。然而,一些患者群体尽管控制良好仍会发生糖尿病视网膜病变,而另一些患者尽管控制不佳却未患视网膜病变。这表明遗传因素在视网膜病变易感性中所起的作用。本文综述了遗传因素在决定糖尿病视网膜病变方面的作用。
