Proportions of genotypes and AA homozygous groups of BCL-2 and BAX polymorphisms between subsamples were analysed in two phases. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were compared in global sample and in subsamples.Results: BAX: Differences were observed in the genotype frequencies and in AA carriers between controls and cases in the global series. The odds ratio (OR) of A carriers in the global sample was 1.7 (95% CI: 1.23-2.51). Proportions of genotypes in Spain + Portugal were significant different. The OR of A carriers from Spain and Portugal was 1.8 (95% CI: 1.11-2.95). BCL-2: No significant differences were observed in genotype frequencies. However, proportions of genotypes in Spain + Portugal were significant. A protective effect (OR: 0.6 95% CI: 0.43-0.96) was found in A carriers from Spain and Portugal.Conclusions: Results suggest that A allele of rs4645878 could be a biomarker of high risk of developing PVR in patients undergoing RD surgery. The possible role of BCL-2 (inhibitor of necroptosis pathway) as a possible new target in PVR prophylaxis should be investigated.Keywords: Bcl-2; apoptosis; bax; necroptosis; proliferative vitreoretinopathy; retinal detachment.
