Pterygium

Solomon and colleagues 2 found in their work an insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP2) overexpression in pterygium body fibroblasts. Nolan and colleagues 4 found that UVB radiation creates overexpression of heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) in pterygial tissue.
