A single nucleotide polymorphism of the MTHFR gene (C677T) has been associated with susceptibility to this disease, although this is controversial in the last decade. In this study, the possible association between the MTHFR C677T polymorphism and the risk of developing primary open angle (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) was investigated.
