Association of Genetic Variation With Keratoconus.

In this relatively large keratoconus genome-wide association study, we identified a genome-wide significant locus for keratoconus in the region of PNPLA2 on chromosome 11.

Prevalence of FOXC1 Variants in Individuals With a Suspected Diagnosis of Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

These data highlight the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of childhood glaucoma and support the use of gene panels incorporating FOXC1 as a diagnostic aid, especially because clinical features of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome can be subtle.

Biallelic CPAMD8 Variants Are a Frequent Cause of Childhood and Juvenile Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Biallelic CPAMD8 variation was associated with a highly heterogeneous phenotype and in our cohorts was the second most common inherited cause of childhood glaucoma after CYP1B1 and juvenile open-angle glaucoma after MYOC.

Myocilin Gene Gln368Ter Variant Penetrance and Association With Glaucoma in Population-Based and Registry-Based Studies.

The MYOC p.Gln368Ter variant confers a very high-risk effect size for advanced glaucoma; the risk is lower in nonadvanced glaucoma and OHT.

Myocilin Predictive Genetic Testing for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Leads to Early Identification of At-Risk Individuals.

Our findings demonstrated that MYOC cascade genetic testing for POAG allows identification of at-risk individuals at an early stage or even before signs of glaucoma are present.

Macular Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Loss Precedes Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Glaucoma with Lower Intraocular Pressure.

Clinical features, particularly pretreatment IOP, influence whether structural glaucoma progression is detected earlier with mGCIPL or pRNFL imaging.

Testosterone Pathway Genetic Polymorphisms in Relation to Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: An Analysis in Two Large Datasets.

Collectively, testosterone metabolism pathway SNPs were consistently associated with the high-tension subtype of POAG in two datasets.

Contribution of Mutations in Known Mendelian Glaucoma Genes to Advanced Early-Onset Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Rare, potentially disease-causing variants in Mendelian POAG genes that showed enrichment in our dataset were found in 22.9% of advanced early-onset POAG cases.

The utility of genomic testing in the ophthalmology clinic: A review.

The advantages to the patient of receiving a molecular diagnosis include an end to the diagnostic odyssey, determination of prognosis and clarification of treatment, access to accurate genetic counselling, and confirming eligibility for clinical trials or genetic specific therapies.

A Multitrait Open-Angle Glaucoma Polygenic Risk Score Stratifies Risk of Glaucoma Diagnosis and Severity in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliation.

The PRSs for open-angle glaucoma, IOP, and VCDR stratify risk of glaucoma development and disease severity among individuals with PEX.

Author Response: Stronger Association of CDKN2B-AS1 Variants in Female Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients in a Japanese Population.

Genetic Association at the 9p21 Glaucoma Locus Contributes to Sex Bias in Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

This study demonstrated that female sex is a risk factor for developing advanced NTG.

Accurate Imputation-Based Screening of Gln368Ter Myocilin Variant in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

We demonstrate that some clinically important rare variants can be reliably detected using arrays and imputation.

Occurrence of CYP1B1 Mutations in Juvenile Open-Angle Glaucoma With Advanced Visual Field Loss.

Patients with advanced JOAG based on visual field loss had enrichment of CYP1B1 pathogenic variants and a more severe phenotype compared with unaffected controls and patients with nonadvanced JOAG.

Does the association between TMEM98 and nanophthalmos require further confirmation?-Reply.

Screening phenotypically normal Caucasian Australians for the lysyl oxidase-like 1 gene.

Copy number variations of TBK1 in Australian patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

We report the presence of TBK1 copy number variations in our Australian normal-tension glaucoma cohort, including the first example of more than 1 extra copy of this gene in glaucoma patients (gene triplication).

Association of open-angle glaucoma loci with incident glaucoma in the Blue Mountains Eye Study.

This study shows that previously reported genetic variations related to OAG and cup-to-disc ratio are associated with the onset of OAG and thus may become useful in risk prediction algorithms designed to target early treatment…
