Core Tip For the first time, the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 rs5498 GG genotype has been linked to an increased risk of diabetic retinopathy in Northern Indians, highlighting the inflammatory genetic architecture of this sight-threatening complication. However, the modest effect size, uncorrected statistical significance, absence of allele-specific expression data, and pronounced inter-ethnic heterogeneity observed in meta-analysis mandate large-scale prospective cohorts, functional validation through Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats-based cellular assays, and multi-omic integration before this variant can be considered for clinical risk stratification or precision prevention strategies.
