Posterior pole asymmetry analysis and retinal thickness measurements in young relatives of @entity726 XXXX .

@entity1 @entity725 @entity16 @entity726 @entity1020 @entity2342
The presence of a family history of @entity726 is a known risk factor for @entity725 ( @entity725 ) in middle-aged and older individuals. In this study, our aim was to demonstrate possible early @entity2342 in young first- and second-degree relatives of @entity725 @entity1 by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. A total of 104 @entity1 (52 relatives of @entity725 @entity1 and 52 healthy individuals) were recruited in this cross-sectional study. All the @entity1 were between 17 years and 45 years of age. All eyes underwent testing with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography. Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, hemifield macular thickness, @entity1020 cell complex thickness, posterior pole asymmetry analysis, and retinal arteriolar caliber measurements were taken for comparison between the study and control groups. The mean peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was 104.9    8.8  m in the study group and 105.6    7.4  m in the control group (p = 0.68). Although whole macular thickness measurements were higher in the control group when compared with the study group (p = 0.008), the @entity1020 cell complex thickness was similar in both groups (p = 0.87). The posterior pole asymmetry analysis revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups in the aspect of consecutive black squares (p = 0.79). The mean retinal arteriolar caliber was 85.9    4.8  m in the study group and 86.0    5.0  m in the control group (p = 0.90). In conclusion, young relatives of @entity725 @entity1 do not show characteristic @entity16 when compared with the controls.
