Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Age-related cataract (ARC) is a leading cause of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. DNA damage and malfunction of DNA repair are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of ARC. Aside from increasing age, the risk factors for ARC appear to be rather complex, and one or more gene variations could play critical roles in the diverse processes of ARC progression. This study aimed to investigate the...
