Diabetic Foot - Genetics
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Diabetic Foot'Common foot problems in persons with DIABETES MELLITUS, caused by any combination of factors such as DIABETIC NEUROPATHIES; PERIPHERAL VASCULAR DISEASES; and INFECTION. With the loss of sensation and poor circulation, injuries and infections often lead to severe foot ulceration, GANGRENE and AMPUTATION.

30 Oct 2007 INTRODUCTION: Phenotype match inherited by genes is in most cases present in monozygotic twins. Their phenotypic resemblance is unfortunately characterized by strong susceptibility for the development of chronic non-infectious diseases. One of the ... Read more...
30 Jul 2003 BACKGROUND: Epithelialization of cutaneous ulcers is a long-lasting process. To study the pathomechanism of impaired epithelialization, we evaluated the role of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related proteins in the regenerating epidermis. We ... Read more...
