A genome-wide association study for diabetic retinopathy in a Japanese population: potential association with a long intergenic non-coding RNA.

A genome-wide association study for diabetic retinopathy in a Japanese population: potential association with a long intergenic non-coding RNA.

Elucidation of the genetic susceptibility factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR) is important to gain insight into the pathogenesis of DR, and may help to define genetic risk factors for this condition. In the present study, we conducted a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify...
