Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Recently, three genetic susceptibility loci for primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) were identified: COL11A1 rs3753841, PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213, and PLEKHA7 rs11024102. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affect the phenotype of PACG patients. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed for 700 Singaporean Chinese PACG patients who had...
