Table 2. Distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor genotypes/alleles in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (cases) and in those without diabetic retinopathy (controls).

Genotype/allele
(-634 C/G polymorphism)		 Cases
n (%)		 Controls
n (%)
p		 Odds ratio
(95% CI)
Genotype CC 24 (11.6) 15 (10.5) 0. 71 1.1 (0.5–2.1)1
Genotype CG 103 (50.0) 67 (46.9)

Genotype GG 79 (38.4) 206 61 (42.6) 143

C allele 151 (36.7) 97 (33.9) 0. 52
G allele 261 (63.3) 189 (66.1)

Distribution of the –634 C/G vascular endothelial growth factor genotypes/alleles was compared between cases and controls. The frequencies of genotypes and alleles are shown in percentage and as seen in the Table 3 there are no significant differences between cases and controls in either the frequency of the CC genotype (CC versus CG plus GG: odds ratio 1.1, 95% confidence interval 0.5–2.1; p value 0.7). 1p-value and odds ratio (CC versus CG plus GG), 2p value for allele frequency.
