Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major angiogenic factor and a prime regulator of endothelial cell proliferation. VEGF gene is located on chromosome 6 (6p21.3). Objectives: To determine whether deletion at -2549 position of promoter region of the VEGF gene exert influence on the development of diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Diseased and control subjects were selected for blood sampling. The blood samples (n=50) was taken from diabetic retinopathy patients and blood samples(n=50) was taken from type 2 diabetes mellitus patients as control group. After DNA extraction Polymerase Chain Reaction was performed to amplify the VEGF gene and sequencing was commercially done for molecular analysis of VEGF gene. Results: The molecular analysis confirmed that deletion at -2549 position of the promoter region of VEGF significantly greater in DR group. 2-11 % deletion was examined at -2549 position of promoter region of VEGF. The DD genotype was responsible for the development of DR. Conclusions: This study indicates that DD gene mutation and D allele is an autonomous hazard aspect for the advancement and progression of retinopathy in people with type 2 diabetes, additionally different issues for example diabetic age and family ancestry of diabetes assumes key function in the advancement of retinopathy in diabetic patients.Keywords
