Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cilioretinal arteries (CAs) represent enlargements of microscopic and early established collaterals formed via vasculogenesis between choroidal and retinal circulations. We aimed to investigate whether genetic tendency to thrombosis due to well-known gene polymorphisms may induce CA vasculogenesis in embryonic life. METHODS: We assessed plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G,...
