[Using statistical models, we selected a total of 12 SNPs with P-values <1 × 10(-6) that were associated with DR. After controlling for diabetes duration and hemoglobin A(1C), 9 of the 12 SNPs located on 5 chromosomal regions were found to be associated with DR. Five loci not previously associated with DR susceptibility were identified in and around the following genes: MYSM1 (Myb-like, SWIRM, and MPN domains 1) located on chromosome 1p (odds ratio [OR], 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-2.20); PLXDC2 (plexin domain-containing 2) located on the chromosome 10p (OR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.06-2.65); ARHGAP22 (Rho GTPase-activating protein 22) located on chromosome 10q (OR, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.05-2.60); and HS6ST3 (heparan sulfate 6-O-sulfotransferase 3) located on chromosome 13q (OR, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.13-4.77).].
