22 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To map the disease-associated locus of a family with autosomal dominant juvenile-onset primary open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). METHODS: A complete ophthalmic examination was conducted, and genomic DNA was obtained from 25 members of a Chinese family, of which eight were confirmed as having JOAG. Myocilin (MYOC), optineurin (OPTN), and WD repeat-domain 36 (WDR36) were screened for sequence alterations, by PCR...
