RANKL Gene Polymorphism as a Potential Biomarker to Identify Acute Charcot Foot Among Indian Population With Type 2 Diabetes: A Preliminary Report

Studies addressing the link between gene polymorphism and Charcot neuropathic osteoarthopathy (CN) have been limited to analyse osteoprotegerin gene. Aim is to understand the association of RANKL gene variants on the susceptibility of diabetic neuropathy and CN and to measure the serum levels of sRANKL among Indian population with type 2 diabetes. 77 subjects (48 males: 29 females) were recruited and divided into 3 groups. Group 1 Control:...
