Plasma Homocysteine, MTHFR Gene Mutation, and Open-angle Glaucoma

1 Jan 2009

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Elevated plasma homocysteine has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The association between open-angle glaucoma and cardiovascular disease has recently stimulated interest in the role of homocysteine in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Some studies report elevated plasma homocysteine in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXFG), but have...
