Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between lysyl-oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene polymorphisms and exfoliation glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma in a case-control cohort of German patients. METHODS: Six single nucleotide polymorphisms in a 22 kb genomic region encompassing the LOXL1 gene plus an additional "outlier" single nucleotide polymorphism located approximately 1.1 Mb upstream of...
