Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome/glaucoma is a complex, late-onset disorder of the elastic fiber system. Strong genetic risk is conferred by the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene, but additional comodulating factors are necessary for the manifestation of the disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of various PEX-associated pathogenic factors on the genotype-correlated expression of LOXL1...
