Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The use of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) can cause ocular hypertension. This steroid response appears to be heritable and alleles in the SFRS3 and FKBP4 genes have recently been suggested to play a role. The purpose of the present study was to perform an independent replication study to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SFRS3 and FKBP4 are involved in the...
