Researchers hunt for genetic clues to prevent blindness in diabetes

NCT ID NCT02879422

First seen Jan 23, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study explored whether certain genetic markers are linked to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), a severe eye condition that can cause blindness in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers compared 302 patients with and without PDR to look for genetic differences. The goal was to find predictive factors that could help identify those at highest risk.
