Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

You are being asked to be in a research study to determine blood levels and vitreous levels of compounds called thrombospondin 1 (TSP1) and pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF). These compounds exists naturally in your body.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The hypothesis tested here is that diabetic patients that express the higher molecular weight pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) isoform have lower thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) level and, as a result, are at a greater risk for the development of more severe diabetic retinopathy.
