We conclude that the VEGF+936 C/T (rs3025039) gene polymorphisms are related to peripheral neuropathy in Mexican DM2 patients, with the heterozygous genotype potentially conferring a protective effect.
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C936T of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene and the SNP C242T of the p22phox (CYBA) gene have been investigated in relation to DM2 and its complications.
