Expression of VEGF-A, Otx Homeobox and p53 Family Genes in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Expression of VEGF-A, Otx Homeobox and p53 Family Genes in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy

Introduction. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a severe inflammatory complication of retinal detachment. Pathological epiretinal membranes grow on the retina surface leading to contraction, and surgery fails in 5% to 10% of the cases. We evaluated the expression of VEGF-A, Otx1, Otx2, Otx3,...
