Core Tip The study by Kaur et al., together with their meta-analysis, demonstrated that the association between ICAM-1 polymorphisms and diabetic retinopathy is not universal but varies significantly across ethnic groups. This finding highlights the critical importance of population genetics in refining pathogenesis models and moving beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to complex microvascular diseases.
