GENETIC RISK FACTORS IN ACUTE CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY

Abstract

Three variants in the CFH gene and copy number variations in C4B were found to be significantly associated with the risk of aCSC development. Despite the differences in clinical presentation, acute and chronic CSC may share a similar genetic predisposition based on our present analysis. Other genetic and/or nongenetic risk factors may be more influential in the differentiation toward an acute or a chronic phenotype of CSC.
