Retinal Venular Diameter as an Early Indicator of Progression to Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy With and Without High-Risk Characteristics in African Americans With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
TL;DR: Larger retinal venular diameter is an independent and early indicator of progression to either PDR or PDR with high-risk characteristics in African Americans with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is early age-related maculopathy related to cognitive function? The atherosclerosis risk in communities study
Tien Yin Wong,Tien Yin Wong,Ronald Klein,F. Javier Nieto,Suzana Alves de Moraes,Thomas H. Mosley,David Couper,Barbara E.K. Klein,Lori L. Boland,Larry D. Hubbard,A. Richey Sharrett +10 more
TL;DR: These population-based data suggest a weak association between cognitive function and early ARM in middle-aged persons.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Consistent with pleiotropy, suggestive collective evidence is provided for association between DR and variants previously associated with DN without reaching statistical significance at any single locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The CREAM consortium conducted genome-wide meta-analyses, which identified 16 new loci for refractive error in individuals of European ancestry and 8 were shared with Asians, and identified 8 additional associated loci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal Vascular Caliber and Brachial Flow-Mediated Dilation: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Thanh T. Nguyen,F.M. Amirul Islam,H.M. Omar Farouque,Ronald Klein,Barbara E.K. Klein,Mary Frances Cotch,David M. Herrington,Tien Yin Wong +7 more
TL;DR: People with wider retinal venules have reduced brachial FMD, independent of other vascular risk factors, which suggests that retina venular caliber, previously shown to predict stroke, may be a marker of underlying systemic endothelial dysfunction.
