Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: High intraocular pressure (IOP) and large vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR) are important risk factors of glaucoma. Recent genome-wide association studies have discovered several genetic variants associated with IOP and VCDR. In this study, we examined the aggregate effects of these IOP-, VCDR-associated variants on glaucoma. DESIGN: Case-control genetic association study. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 6881...
