1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a complex, late-onset disorder of the elastic fiber system and the most common identifiable cause of open-angle glaucoma. Strong genetic risk is conferred by the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene, but additional comodulating factors are necessary for the manifestation of the disease. The aim of this study was to establish a comprehensive expression profile of LOXL1 and elastic...
