Association Between Myopic Refractive Error and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A 2-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

These findings demonstrate a shared genetic basis and an association between myopic RE and POAG risk. This may support population POAG risk stratification and screening strategies, based on RE information.

Association of Behavioral and Clinical Risk Factors With Cataract: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study.

Our results provide evidence that genetic risks for POAG and myopia may be causal risk factors for age-related cataract.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Two Common Loci Associated with Pigment Dispersion Syndrome/Pigmentary Glaucoma and Implicates Myopia in its Development.

Common SNPs relating to the GSAP and GRM5/TYR genes are associated risk factors for the development of PDS and PG.

The Association of Refractive Error with Glaucoma in a Multiethnic Population.

Myopia was associated with an increased prevalence of all forms of open-angle glaucoma and OHTN, whereas hyperopia was associated with a substantially increased prevalence of PACG.

The primary open-angle african american glaucoma genetics study: baseline demographics.

The POAAGG study has currently recruited more than 2000 African Americans eligible for a POAG genetics study.
