PTCSC3 was further downregulated in DR group. Plasma levels of PTCSC3 in DR (n=23), (A) LR (n=24), (B) and NR (n=33), (C) groups were also measured during follow-up by performing qPCR. Paired t test was used to compare pretreatment and follow-up levels of PTCSC3. PCR was repeated 3 times and the mean values were compared by unpaired t test. *p<0.05.
