METHODS OF DETERMINING WHETHER A SUBJECT HAS OR IS AT RISK OF HAVING A CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY
摘要:
Central Serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is primarily an ocular disease, affecting the choroid and the retinal pigment epithelium. To date, no systemic biomarker of CSCR have been discovered that could link both forms and help the diagnosis in challenging cases. In the present invention, the inventors measure in European cohorts of CSCR patients (n=168) with (n=90) or without epitheliopathy (n=78) and a cohort of 153 control subjects without any ocular disease history, the serum levels of NGAL and the NGAL/MMP9 complex. Serum NGAL (ng/ml) was significantly higher in the control group (108.8±46.8) than in the CSCR cohort (80.4±46.4, p
