Association of Gene Polymorphisms With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Based on the current meta-analysis, we indicate 20 SNPs in 12 genes (APE1, APOE, CAV1/CAV2, MMP, OPTN, PLXDC2, SLC23A2, TIMP1, TLR4, TMCO1, XRCC1, ZP4) as predictive risk factors for POAG.

Keratin8 Deficiency Aggravates Retinal Ganglion Cell Damage Under Acute Ocular Hypertension.

The KRT8 deficiency promoted RGC apoptosis and neurodegeneration by abnormal activation of MAPK pathways in AOH retinas. Targeting KRT8 may serve as a novel treatment for saving RCGs from glaucomatous injuries.

Association of high-pillow sleeping posture with intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma.

Compared with the supine position, the high-pillow position is associated with increased IOP and decreased OPP in patients with glaucoma, which may be linked to jugular venous compression.
