The myocilin/trabecular meshwork-inducible glucocorticoid response (MYOC/TIGR) gene was identified as a gene that caused open angle glaucoma (OAG). Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and subsequent sequence analysis were performed for the MYOC/TIGR gene in 120 unrelated Japanese OAG patients with increased intraocular pressure (IOP), 116 unrelated OAG patients without increased IOP, and 106...
