Objective  To determine the association of -429T/C and G1704T polymorphisms in the receptor for advanced glycation end products gene with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods  Case-control study. From the Beijing Desheng Diabetic Eye Study cohort of 1467 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM),atotal of 97 patients with PDR and 105 diabetic patients without retinopathy (DWR, duration of diabetes 15 years) were included for this study. Questionnaires were collected and general ophthalmologic examinations were performed. Biochemical analysis was conducted. DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood. The -429T/C and G1704T single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by the means of PCR-restrication fragment length polymorphisms. Results  The frequency distribution of -429T/C in DWR group was 81.0% in TT, 16.1% in TC, 2.9% in CC. The frequency distribution of -429T/C in PDR group was 77.3% in TT, 20.6% in TC, 2.1% in CC. There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=0.40, P > 0.05). Frequency of the -429T/C minor alleleCin the DWR and PDR group were 11.0% and 12.4%, respectively, with no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=0.20,P > 0.05). The frequency distribution of G1704T in DWR group was 66.7% in GG, 29.5% in GT, 3.8% in TT. The frequency distribution of G1704T in PDR group was 78.4% in GG, 21.6% in GT. There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups (χ2=3.44, P > 0.05). Frequency of the G1704T minor alleleTin the DWR and PDR group were 18.6% and 10.8%, respectively, in which significant difference was found within the two groups (χ2=4.79, OR=1.88,95%CI: 1.06 - 3.33, P > 0.05). Conclusions  G1704T polymorphism is associated with PDR presence and 1704G allele may increase the risk of PDR.
