pubmed:abstractText
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a vision-threatening disease, primarily occurring among patients aged more than 60 years. Several risk factors, including arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, have been identified. Compression of the central retinal vein by an atherosclerotic retinal artery at the lamina cribrosa also has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease. Functional gene polymorphisms of cytokines or chemokines previously shown to affect atherogenesis or hemostasis are potential risk factors for CRVO. The present study investigates a hypothesized association between inflammation-related gene polymorphisms and the presence of CRVO in a relatively large cohort of patients.
