Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To study the relationships between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of extracellular matrix, matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of MMPs, and other glaucoma-associated genes and acute primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG). METHODS: We extracted DNA samples from 78 adult patients with acute PACG and 86 control subjects to study the relationships between these specific genes and acute...
