Association between the ICAM-1 K469E polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis

A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association of ICAM-1 K469E gene polymorphism with diabetic retinopathy susceptibility in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Seven studies involving 1094 cases and 909 controls were included. Current studies suggest that K469E polymorphism in ICAM-1 gene might not affect individual susceptibility to DR.
