Abstract excerpt
We developed a genetic mouse model of open-angle glaucoma by expression of mutated mouse myocilin (Myoc) in transgenic (Tg) mice. The Tyr423His point mutation, corresponding to the severe glaucoma-causing Tyr437His mutation in the human MYOC gene, was introduced into bacterial artificial chromosome DNA encoding the full-length mouse Myoc gene and long flanking regions. Both wild-type (Wt) and Tg animals expressed...
