Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The gene for Eph-receptor tyrosinekinase-type A2 (EPHA2) has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of age-related cataract (ARC). The aim of this study was to examine whether EPHA2 polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility to age-related cortical cataract in a Han Chinese population. METHODS: Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-rs3768293, rs3754334, rs7548209, rs707455, and...
