Analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial genes in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Molecular vision - 10 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEG) is the most prevalent secondary open angle glaucoma occurring worldwide. The search for a genetic cause in PEG has been largely unsuccessful despite evidence of hereditary transmission. METHODS: The nuclear genes MYOC, OPTN, WDR36, CYP1B1, OPA1, and OPA3 were sequenced in patients with PEG. The entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) coding region was also sequenced, relative...
