[HTML] from nih.govGS Zode, MH Kuehn, DY Nishimura… - The Journal of clinical …, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Mutations in myocilin (MYOC) are the most common genetic cause of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), but the mechanisms underlying MYOC-associated glaucoma are not fully understood. Here, we report the development of a transgenic mouse model of POAG ...
KS Nair, M Hmani-Aifa, Z Ali, AL Kearney… - Nature Genetics, 2011 - nature.com Angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is a subset of glaucoma affecting 16 million people 1, 2, 3 . Although 4 million people are bilaterally blind from ACG 4, 5 , the causative molecular mechanisms of ACG remain to be defined. High intraocular pressure induces glaucoma in ACG. High ...

JH Fingert - Eye, 2011 - nature.com A substantial fraction of glaucoma has a genetic basis. About 5% of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is currently attributed to single-gene or Mendelian forms of glaucoma (ie glaucoma caused by mutations in myocilinor optineurin). Mutations in these genes have a high likelihood of ... All 3 versions
