Association of APOE With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Suggests a Protective Effect for APOE ε4.

We have found that the APOE ε4 allele is associated with a reduced risk of POAG.

Myocilin Mutations in Patients With Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

In cohorts 1 and 2, the p.Gln368Ter mutation in MYOC was found in patients with IOPs that were 21 mm Hg or lower (NTG), although at a frequency that is lower than previously detected in patients with higher IOP.

Genetic Correlations Between Diabetes and Glaucoma: An Analysis of Continuous and Dichotomous Phenotypes.

These analyses suggest that there is limited genetic correlation between diabetes- and glaucoma-related traits.

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.

A Common Variant in MIR182 Is Associated With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in the NEIGHBORHOOD Consortium.

Our integrative study is the first to associate rs76481776 with POAG via elevated miR-182 expression.
