Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genetic factors in the immune system are widely suspected to have a role in the etiology of glaucoma. In this study, we evaluated the association between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) gene polymorphisms. The TAP gene polymorphisms we evaluated were TAP1-1 codon 333 A/G (Ile-Val), TAP1-2 codon 637 (Asp-Gly), TAP2-1 codon 379 (Val-Ile),...
