Genetic Investigation of Complement Pathway Genes in Type 2 Diabetic Retinopathy: An Inflammatory Perspective

<div>Linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure of the<i> C5</i> locus for DR (a), NPDR (b), and PDR (c). LD was measured using data from all controls and total DR and its subtypes. The haplotype block was defined by the confidence interval method implemented in the Haploview software.
