Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To assess the association between the genetic variants associated with the optic nerve vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) and the phenotypic features in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), including normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG). DESIGN: Case-control study. PARTICIPANTS AND CONTROLS: Japanese patients with NTG (n = 213) and HTG (n = 212) and 191 control...
