Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify the specific genes in human trabecular meshwork (TM) related to POAG. METHODS: Primary open-angle glaucoma TM specimens were obtained from routine trabeculectomy surgery. Nonglaucomatous control TM specimens were dissected from donor eyes using the same approach as a standard trabeculectomy. All cases were screened for myocilin (MYOC) mutations. Total RNA was extracted, labeled, and...
