“…In a similar study, Ortak et al . reported that retinal vein occlusion might be associated with gene polymorphisms affecting the expression of MMP‐2 . MMPs constitute a large group of zinc‐dependent proteases responsible for the degrading and remodeling of extracellular matrix components, such as elastin and type IV collagen .…”

“…The probes for MMP2-1306C/T were Sensor 5′-ACC CAG CAC TCC ACC TCT TT-Fluo-3′/Anchor5′- LCRed-640-CTC TTC AGG TCT CAG CTC AGA AGT CAC TTC-Pho-3′; for TIMP2G-418C, they were Sensor 5′-CCC CGG GGT CCC TTC GAG-Fluo-3′/Anchor 5′- LCRed-640-CAG CCT CGG GGC GAG-Pho-3′. Synthesitisation were carried out by Metabion International AG (Martinsried, Deutschland) for both the primers and the fluorescent-labeled probes 17. PCR and melting curve analyses were carried out in 20 μl glass capillaries (Hoffmann-La Roche) 23.…”

“…Erythrocyte sedimentation rate seems more important in females and less important in branch RVO. While matrix metalloproteinase 2 gene variants appear to increase susceptibility to RVO, pro‐atherosclerotic inflammation‐related gene polymorphisms at the interleukin and tumour necrosis factor alleles have not been confirmed as independent risk factors . Treatment with systemic anti‐inflammatory agents has been inconclusive…”

“…While matrix metalloproteinase 2 gene variants appear to increase susceptibility to RVO, pro-atherosclerotic inflammation-related gene polymorphisms at the interleukin and tumour necrosis factor alleles have not been confirmed as independent risk factors. [59][60][61] Treatment with systemic anti-inflammatory agents has been inconclusive. 62 Ocular hypertension is an important ophthalmic consideration in RVO.…”
