Heredity of Retinal Vessel Tortuosity

NCT00427063 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 218

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to asses the relative influence of genetic and environmental influence on the tortuosity of retinal arterioles in eyes of 218 healthy Danish twins aged 20-46 years. We expect to find a high heredity for the variation in tortuosity. This knowledge can contribute to the elucidation of the pathology in retinal diseases.
