Apoptosis and apoptosis related gene expression in normal conjunctiva and pterygium

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pterygium is a relatively common eye disease in the tropics whose aetiology and pathogenesis remain uncertain. As such, interest has focused on understanding the underlying mechanism of pterygia development. METHODS: 15 specimens of pterygia from 15 eyes were examined, together with normal conjunctival tissue from the same eyes for the pattern of gene expression of genes associated with the induction...
