The T allele of lysyl oxidase-like 1 rs41435250 is a novel risk factor for pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma independently and through intragenic epistatic interaction.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Two coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) are major genetic risk factors for pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (XFG) in diverse populations. However, recent conflicting results suggest that the currently known disease-associated missense variants R141L and G153D are not causal and that they may be proxies for other unknown functional...
