ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the genetic and clinical characteristics of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in patients with and without steroid use.METHODS:
A total of 407 consecutive patients with CSC were included. Demographic data and clinical factors, including subfoveal choroidal thickness, bilateral involvement, descending tracts, pachydrusen, fibrin, and dome-shaped pigment epithelial detachment, were obtained. Variants of complement factor H (CFH) I62V (rs800292) and rs1329428 were genotyped in all cases using TaqMan technology.RESULTS:
Of the total patients, 48 (11.8%) were steroid users. The majority of males were non-steroid users (82.5%) than steroid users (58.3%) (p = 9.8 × 10-5). Demographic data and the prevalence of clinical factors were comparable between the two groups (all p-values > 0.10). Risk allele frequencies of CFH rs800292 and rs1329428 were also comparable between the two groups (p = 0.76, rs800292 steroid users = 52.1% vs. non-steroid users = 50.4%; p = 0.62, rs1329428 steroid users = 47.9% vs. non-steroid users = 45.3%).CONCLUSIONS:
Except for the male/female ratio, there were no significant differences in the clinical presentation or genetic characteristics, including variants of the CFH gene, between the two groups.
