Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of optineurin (OPTN) and myocilin (MYOC) sequence variants in a cohort of German patients with normal tension glaucoma. METHODS: All coding exons of the OPTN and MYOC genes were amplified by PCR from genomic DNA and subjected to direct DNA sequencing. Analysis of sequence variants in controls was done by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and restriction...
