Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Three common sequence variants in the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene were recently associated with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) in populations from various parts of the world. In this study, the genetic association of these variants was investigated in Greek patients with PEX and PEXG. METHODS: The three LOXL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), one intronic...
