Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Factors other than intraocular pressure are likely to play a role in the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, particularly in individuals with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). Recent laboratory evidence has shown that there are potential similarities between Alzheimer disease and NTG in cellular apoptosis leading to neurodegeneration. IL-1alpha (-889) T allele polymorphism has been found to...
