Plasma Proteomic Dynamics Preceding Glaucoma Reveal a 15-Year Pre-Diagnostic Window: Causal Insights and Predictive Utility in 45,850 Participants.
Zhao Yingke, Wu Jiawen, Li Chenchen, Cheng Yun, Li Qian, Wu Jianing et al.
136 proteins linked to glaucoma, with 4 causal (LTBP2, NRP2, TNFSF13, HAVCR1) detectable 12-15 years pre-diagnosis. This offers early risk stratification, targeted screening, and therapeutic targets for glaucoma.
