Abstract | Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a chorioretinal disease that usually affects the middle-aged population and is characterised by a thickened choroid, retinal pigment epithelium detachment, and subretinal fluid with a tendency towards spontaneous resolution. We investigated 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 50 Slovenian acute CSC patients and 71 healthy controls in Complement Factor H (CFH), Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 3 Group C Member 2 (NR3C2), Cadherin 5 (CDH5) Age-Related Maculopathy Susceptibility 2 (ARMS2), TNF Receptor Superfamily Member 10a (TNFRSF10A), collagen IV alpha 3 (COL4A3) and collagen IV alpha 4 (COL4A4) genes using high-resolution melt analysis. Statistical calculations revealed significant differences in genotype frequencies for CFH rs1329428 (p = 0.042) between investigated groups and an increased risk for CSC in patients with TC (p = 0.040) and TT (p = 0.034) genotype. Genotype‐phenotype correlation analysis revealed that CSC patients with CC genotype in CFH rs3753394 showed a higher tendency for spontaneous CSC episode resolution at 3 months from the disease onset (p = 0.0078), which could indicate clinical significance of SNP testing in CSC patients. Bioinformatics analysis of the non-coding polymorphisms showed alterations in transcription factor binding motifs for CFH rs3753394, CDH5 rs7499886 and TNFRSF10A rs13278062. No association of collagen IV polymorphisms with CSC was found in this study. | |
