Global Prevalence and Major Risk Factors of Diabetic Retinopathy

TL;DR: Longer diabetes duration and poorer glycemic and blood pressure control are strongly associated with DR, and these data highlight the substantial worldwide public health burden of DR and the importance of modifiable risk factors in its occurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study of Retinopathy in Individuals Without Diabetes

TL;DR: This genome-wide association study of retinopathy in individuals without diabetes showed little evidence of genetic associations and further studies are needed to identify genes associated with these signs in order to help unravel novel pathways and determinants of microvascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using the Illumina custom genotyping array iCOGs, SNPs at the TERT locus in breast, ovarian and BRCA1 mutation carrier cancer cases and controls and leukocyte telomere measurements are analyzed to find associations cluster into three independent peaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are retinal arteriolar or venular diameters associated with markers for cardiovascular disorders? The Rotterdam Study.

TL;DR: Associations between retinal arteriolar and venular diameters, and the AVR on the one hand and blood pressure, atherosclerosis, inflammation markers, and cholesterol levels on the other were examined in the Rotterdam Study indicate that retinal venULAR diameters are variable and may play their own independent role in predicting cardiovascular disorders.
