Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Endophthalmitis is a rare but sight-threatening complication of intraocular surgery. β-Defensins are antimicrobial peptides that appear to be important components of the ocular immune response. We propose that variation in defensin genes may alter susceptibility to endophthalmitis. METHODS: Post-cataract endophthalmitis patients (n = 28) and post-cataract controls (n = 75) were recruited and DNA samples...
