Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To assess the genetic contribution to proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and report the strong association observed in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) locus. DESIGN: As a component of The Retina 4 Project, a case-controlled, candidate gene association study in the TNF locus was conducted. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: Blood from 450 patients with (138 cases) and without (312 controls)...
