Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate sequence variants in the optineurin (OPTN) gene in patients with juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) in Taiwan. METHODS: We analyzed the sequence variants of OPTN in 51 unrelated Taiwanese probands with JOAG and in 51 control group subjects who did not have JOAG. Genomic DNA was extracted from the individuals and subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify all 16 exons...
