  ABSTRACT: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) is a sight-threatening complication of diabetes that is associated with longer duration of diabetes and poor glycemic control under a genetic susceptibility background. Although GWAS of PDR have been conducted in Europeans and Asians, none has been done in continental Africans, a population at increased risk for PDR. Here, we report a GWAS of PDR among Africans. PDR cases (n = 64) were T2D patients with neovascularization in the retina and/or retinal detachment. Controls (n = 227) were T2D patients without listed eye complications despite high risk (T2D duration ≥10 years and fasting blood glucose >169 mg/dl). Replication was assessed in African Americans enrolled in the ARIC study. We identified 4 significant loci: WDR72, HLA-
