Abstract excerpt
AIM: To examine whether intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction by latanoprost correlates with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the prostaglandin F2α (FP) receptor gene in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OH). METHODS: The genotype of nine SNPs in the FP receptor gene was determined by direct DNA sequencing, or other techniques, in 82 patients with glaucoma or OH who were treated with...
