Abstract(s)
The cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) are constantly increasing worldwide. Therefore, early detection programs and the development of validated biomarkers are necessary to transfer molecular and genetic studies to the clinic, to prevent the presentation of DM and the complications derived from the chronicity of the process, including diabetic retinopathy. Although in the etiopathogenesis of DM2 various mechanisms are involved, such as inflammation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis, the genetic factor is essential to complete the knowledge of the molecular base of this disease.
