Mitochondrial DNA as a Biomarker for Acute Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: A Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The literature suggests that stress may play a pivotal role in the precipitation of acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) because chorioretinal integrity can be affected by the psychosocial state of the patient, indicating the need for a biomarker. Not only physical stress but also psychological stress causes many types of physical disorders. However, little is known about the pathophysiology of stress-induced disease. The objective of this study was to investigate whether serum factors might be involved in the development of stress-induced ocular diseases.

Methods

This observational case series included 33 eyes of 33 consecutive patients with treatment-naïve acute CSC. Fifty eyes of 50 age-matched healthy volunteers were included in this study as non-CSC c
