Exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) is the commonest identifiable cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma worldwide, characterized by the deposition of fibrillar proteins in the anterior segment of the eye. We investigated LOXL1 gene variants previously identified to confer susceptibility to XFG in a Utah Caucasian cohort. After a standard eye examination protocol we genotyped SNPs rs2165241and rs3825942 in 62 XFG or...
