Table 2. Distribution of Alu repetitive elements genotype and allele frequencies among control and diabetic patients.

Percentages are shown in parenthesis. Alu repetitive elements genotype and allele frequency in diabetic patients and healthy control subjects. 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.

Categories	Controls (n=94)	Diabetic Cases (n=180)	P

ID	40 (42.6)	80 (44.4)	0.402
DD	12 (12.8)	22 (12.2)	0.677
Alleles
I	124 (66.0)	236 (65.6)
D	61 (34.0)	124 (34.4)	0.863
