Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the mutations in the trabecular meshwork induced-glucocorticoid response protein gene (TIGR/MYOC) in Chinese POAG patients. METHODS: It was a case-control study. One hundred and eighteen Chinese patients with POAG and 150 control subjects without POAG were screened for coding sequence of the MYOC gene by polymerase chain reaction, single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and DNA...
