Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E ( APOE) is a member of the apolipoprotein gene family. APOE is polymorphic with 3 main allelic types: ∊2, ∊3, and ∊4. Certain of these alleles have been associated with higher vascular risk. However, the association of APOE genotypes with retinal biomarkers and risk of retinal stroke is less clear. This study evaluated the role of APOE polymorphisms in retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In the present...
