Abstract excerpt
Wild-type TIGR/MYOC is a secreted protein implicated in the development of steroid glaucoma. Mutations in TIGR/MYOC have been linked to some patients who develop elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. Because there is evidence of some other factors contributing to the TIGR/MYOC causative role in glaucoma, and because substantial increased levels of a particular cellular mRNA and protein might alter...
