Abstract excerpt
The optineurin gene (OPTN) was identified as a gene that causes primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG). To investigate the frequency of sequence changes in OPTN in Japanese glaucoma patients, single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and subsequent sequence analysis were performed for genotyping OPTN in 165 unrelated Japanese patients with POAG and 148 patients with NTG, with...
