Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic variation at the 9p21 locus encompassing the CDKN2B-AS1, CDKN2A, and CDKN2B genes has been associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in several independent studies. This study aimed to dissect the association further and to determine genotype-phenotype correlations between genetic variation at this locus and a range of glaucoma-related traits in a large cohort of POAG patients. DESIGN:...
