Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To ascertain if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) involved in the determination of central corneal thickness, optic disc area, and vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) also are associated with open-angle glaucoma (OAG). DESIGN: Retrospective case-control genetic association study. METHODS: A total of 16 SNPs associated with central corneal thickness, optic disc area, and VCDR were genotyped in 876 OAG...
