Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is a disease of late onset, complex trait with multiple risk factors. In this study, we discovered a mitochondrial DNA variant in NTG patients using next-generation sequencing (NGS). METHODS: The DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of NTG patients and normal control subjects. Sequencing of the entire mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) using NGS revealed new genetic risk...
