To investigate the possible association of the matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2)-1306C/T polymorphism with the risk of ischemic retinal vein occlusion (iRVO). A total of 69 patients with RVO were enrolled in this study (43 with non-iRVO and 26 with iRVO). All subjects were screened for hypertension,...
