Genetic Variants Associated With the Onset and Progression of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The results indicate that non-IOP-related (optic nerve vulnerability) rather than IOP-related (IOP elevation) genetic variants may play an important role in the onset of POAG (family history of glaucoma) and that IOP-related rather than non-IOP-related…

Genetic Variant Near PLXDC2 Influences the Risk of Primary Open-angle Glaucoma by Increasing Intraocular Pressure in the Japanese Population.

The genetic variant near the PLXDC2 gene was found to influence the risk of POAG by increasing IOP in the Japanese population.

Genetic Variants Associated With a History of Glaucoma Surgery in Japanese Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

IOP-related, but not optic nerve-related, genetic variants were associated with a history of glaucoma surgery in Japanese patients with POAG.
