Expression of VEGF-A, Otx Homeobox and p53 Family Genes in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a severe inflammatory complication of retinal detachment. Pathological epiretinal membranes grow on the retina surface leading to contraction, and surgery fails in 5% to 10% of the cases. We evaluated the expression of VEGF-A, Otx1, Otx2, Otx3, and p53 family members from PVR specimens to correlate their role in inducing or preventing the pathology. METHODS:...
