OBJECTIVE
To investigate changes in the oxidant-antioxidant system in pterygium tissue.
METHODS
Tissue samples ablated from 40 patients during pterygium surgery constituted the study material, while normal nasal conjunctiva tissue samples from 20 patients matched for age group (who had undergone
Mammalian Vangl1 and Vangl2 are highly conserved membrane proteins that have evolved from a single ancestral protein Strabismus/Van Gogh found in Drosophila. Mutations in the Vangl2 gene cause a neural tube defect (craniorachischisis) characteristic of the looptail (Lp) mouse. Studies in model
