Abstract
A method of evaluating a risk of a subject to develop vascular complications is disclosed. The method is effected by determining a haptoglobin phenotype of the subject and thereby evaluating the risk of the subject to develop vascular complications. The risk is decreased in patients with haptoglobin 1-1 phenotype as compared to patients with haptoglobin 1-2 or haptoglobin 2-2 phenotypes.
