SNP rs2073618 of the Osteoprotegerin Gene Is Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy in Slovenian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Recent studies indicate that osteoprotegerin (OPG) acts as an important regulatory molecule in the vasculature. Also, a strong association was observed between circulation OPG and microvascular complication. By considering the possible role of OPG in diabetic retinopathy (DR) we examined two of the...
