Abstract excerpt
Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused predominantly by mutations in the CYP1B1 gene. A total of five frequent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the coding sequence of CYP1B1: rs10012C>G (p.R48G), rs1056827G>T (p.A119S), rs1056836C>G (p.V432L), rs1056837C>T (p.D449D), and rs1800440A>G (p.N453S). We performed a functional characterization of four...
