All 3 SNPs in EPO were associated with overall DR status in the combined T1DM and T2DM and T2DM alone groups (CC genotype of rs507392, P < .008; GG genotype of rs1617640, P < .008; and CC genotype of rs551238, P < .008) in the multivariate analysis.

Erythropoietin rs1617640 G allele associates with an attenuated rise of serum erythropoietin and a marked decline of hemoglobin in hepatitis C patients undergoing antiviral therapy.
In the present study, we investigated the associations between anemia and polymorphisms in EPO promoter (rs1617640), TNF-α G-308A and ACE Insertion/Deletion in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
No association was found between EPO rs1617640 G>T and early-stage breast cancer susceptibility and clinical outcome (hazard ratio=1.24, 95% confidence interval=1.82-1.90, p=0.31).
No significant differences were detected in the distributions of rs1617640 genotype or all polymorphisms' alleles between groups NDR and DR, PDR or NPDR.
Of particular interest, rs1617640 (EPO) was not significantly associated with DR status, combined SDR-DN phenotype, time to SDR or time to DN (all P > 0.05).
