Abstract: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a kind of choroidal neovascular lesion characterized by reddish-orange subretinal nodule, serous or hemorrhagic pigment epithelial detachment. The exact pathogenesis of PCV is still unclear. Previous studies have found that HtrA1 serine protease plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PCV. The exploration of the role of HtrA1 in the pathogenesis of PCV is helpful to guide the clinical treatment of PCV. This paper reviews the relative research progress.
