Table 3. Distribution of Alu repetitive elements genotype and allele frequencies among diabetic patients with or without retinopathy.
Percentages are shown in parenthesis. Alu repetitive elements genotype and allele frequency in diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy. Counts and percentages of II, ID, and DD genotype in addition to I and D allele were calculated. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
