GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 11997637
Species: Pan paniscus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: AKR1B1
Name: aldo-keto reductase family 1 member B
Acc ID: DOID:9743
Term: diabetic neuropathy
Definition: Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
