Role of the Apolipoprotein E Polymorphisms in the Development of Retinal Vein Occlusion in a Tunisian Population: A Case-Control Study.

Apolipoprotein E ( APOE) is a member of the apolipoprotein gene family. APOE is polymorphic with 3 main allelic types: ∊2, ∊3, and ∊4. Certain of these alleles have been associated with higher vascular risk.

Prothrombin G20210A and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphisms in peripheral capillary nonperfusion: a case report.

The G20210A mutation in the prothrombin gene is an established risk factor for venous thrombosis. However, there is some controversy as to the role played by this mutation in arterial thrombotic disease. The association of peripheral capillary nonperfusion with prothrombin G20210A mutation has never been reported before.

[Central serous chorioretinopathy: clinical-anatomic correlations].

Introduction: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a retinal disease characterized by a serous retinal detachment (SRD) responsible for a macular syndrome in young patients, often in the context of stress. In our study, we aimed to describe through multimodal analysis the clinical, angiographic and tomographic characteristics of CSCR while identifying prognostic factors and highlighting functional-anatomic correlations.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive and analytic study over a period of 6 years on 35 eyes of 34 patients with CSCR.
