Purpose: Lattice degeneration of the retina is a vitreoretinal disorder characterized by a visible fundus lesion that predisposes the patient to retinal detachment. It has been suggested that collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) gene variants may contribute to the development of disorders associated with retinal detachment. Here we investigated whether COL2A1 gene variants were associated with the risk of lattice...
