A Genetic Case-Control Study Confirms the Implication of<i>SMAD7</i>and<i>TNF Locus</i>in the Development of Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Abstract

These results confirm the genetic contribution to PVR and the implication of SMAD7 and TNF locus in the development of PVR. This finding may have implications for understanding the mechanisms of PVR and could provide a potential new therapeutic target for PVR prophylaxis.
