Microvascular Complications of Diabetes, Susceptibility to, 7: Diabetics are prone to developing microvascular complications and experts have now discovered a number of genetic defects which may predispose diabetics to developing these complications. Seven genetic defects have so far been described. In type 7, the genetic defect is linked to chromosome 6p21.3 and it appears to increase the risk of diabetic kidney and eye disease in particular. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes, and treatments of Microvascular Complications of Diabetes, Susceptibility to, 7 is available below.
