Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). DR is complex and the term encompasses several clinical subtypes of diabetic eye disease, including diabetic macular edema (DME), the most frequent cause of central vision loss in DR patients. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the pathophysiology of DR and its subtypes. While numerous studies have identified several susceptibility genes for DR, few have investigated the impact of genetics on DME susceptibility. This review will focus on the current literature surrounding genetic risk factors associated with DME. We will also highlight the small number of studies investigating the genetics of response to antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injection, which is used to treat DME.
糖尿病性视网膜病变(DR)是糖尿病(DM)最常见的微血管并发症。DR 较为复杂,涵盖了几种糖尿病眼病的临床亚型,包括糖尿病黄斑水肿(DME),这是 DR 患者中心视力丧失的最常见原因。遗传和环境因素均促成了 DR 及其亚型的病理生理学变化。虽然许多研究已经确定了几个与 DR 相关的易感基因,但很少有研究调查遗传因素对 DME 易感性的影响。这篇综述将重点关注与 DME 相关的遗传危险因素的现有文献。我们还将重点介绍少数研究抗血管内皮生长因子(anti-VEGF)注射反应遗传学的研究,anti-VEGF 注射用于治疗 DME。
