Abstract excerpt
It is difficult to get evidence from randomized trials of a causal relationship between steroid hormones produced by the adrenal gland and gonad and retinal neurodegenerative disorders (RND). In this study, genetic variations of aldosterone (Aldo), androstenedione (A4), progesterone (P4), hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), and testosterone/17β-estradiol (T/E2) were obtained from genome-wide association studies as...
