All polymorphisms were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the association by genotype with T2D-related traits displayed nominal significance for rs8192678 with glucose (<i>p</i> = 0.023) and triglycerides (<i>p</i> = 0.013); rs2010963 with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (<i>p</i> = 0.012) and cholesterol (<i>p</i> = 0.013); rs7896005 with DBP (<i>p</i> = 0.012) and insulin (<i>p</i> = 0.011); and rs659366 with cholesterol (<i>p</i> = 0.034), glucose (<i>p</i> = 0.031) and triglycerides (<i>p</i> = 0.028); and the association of rs2010963 with HDL-C (<i>p</i> = 0.0007) was significant.
To assess if the included vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) polymorphisms rs3025035, rs3025021 and rs2010963 are associated to proliferative retinopathy in a Mexican population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Polymorphism (rs2010963) and Its Receptor, Kinase Insert Domain-Containing Receptor Gene Polymorphism (rs2071559), and Markers of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Our results indicated that ACE(rs4646994)-D allele alone and in the presence of VEGF(rs2010963)-G allele can be an important independent risk factor for susceptibility of CAD in T2DM patients even after correcting for conventional risk factors in a population of Iran.
