To investigate possible associations between five different single-nucleotide polymorphisms, from genes associated with arterial stiffness and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), or central retinal vein occlusion. A total of 187 patients with retinal vein occlusion (133 with BRVO and 54 with centr...
