Progression of the diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) demonstrated differences in the individual considered the contribution of genetic predisposition. We aim to study the relationship between the −866G/A polymorphism in the promoter region of the uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) which enhances transcriptional activity and A allele frequency with nerve conduction velocities (NCV) and clinical factors. We compared 370 type 2 diabetic patients with healthy control. Subjective...
