THE ROLE OF VEGF-A GENE POLYMORPHISM IN DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESSION OF PDR IN MEN OF UZBEK POPULATION WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

Abstract

The research has shown that C634G polymorphism of the VEGF-A gene is associated with duration of the disease, presence of hypertension, level of blood pressure in the morning and in the evening =130 mmHg, TG= 1.7 mmol/l and LDL =2.5 mmol/l. Consequently, C634G polymorphism of the VEGF-A gene is one of the factors for predicting the risk of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in men with type 2 diabetes in Uzbek population.
