Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: We developed a gene transfer tool for the control of nocturnal elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate that inhibiting the trabecular meshwork RhoA pathway by delivering a mutated, dominant-negative RhoA gene (dnRhoA) carried inside a long-expressing recombinant virus would reduce nocturnal elevated IOP in a living animal. DESIGN AND SETTING: We generated an optimized...
