Moschos MM, et al. - The potential relationship between rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and BAX and BCL2 polymorphisms is examined in this study. As per their knowledge, this is the first study assessing the potential relationship between BCL2 and BAX gene polymorphisms and RRD in a Greek population, exhibiting a significant relationship between BAX rs4645878 polymorphism and RRD susceptibility. These outcomes propose that an apoptotic mechanism is implicated in the pathogenesis of RRD.
