The median VEGF level was 21.1 pg/mL (range, 3.2–766.1 pg/mL), with lipoprotein A as the sole parameter to correlate significantly with intraocular VEGF levels before (r = 0.160, p=0.014) and after adjustment for age, gender, duration of diabetes, and BMI (p=0.032) (Table 3). Here, VEGFA is linked to diabetes mellitus.
