Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to examine whether or not myocilin (MYOC) genetic variations are associated with susceptibility to primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in the Han Chinese population. METHODS: Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-rs235913, rs183532, rs12076134, and rs235875-in the MYOC gene were genotyped in 212 adult patients with PACG and 255 age-, sex-, and ethnic-matched healthy...
