Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To examine the relationship between nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and genetic polymorphisms of enzymes influencing endothelial function. METHODS: The subjects were 34 patients with NAION (mean age, 62.4 years old; 59% male) and 102 controls (mean age, 63.8 years old; 66% male). Genetic polymorphisms were investigated in three candidate genes associated with endothelial function:...
