BACKGROUND: It has been hypothesized that dysfunction of the solute carrier family 1, member1 gene (SLC1A1), which encodes the glutamate aspartate transporter, may play a role in normal tension glaucoma. In this study we investigate whether SLC1A1 is associated with normal tension glaucoma in Japanese patients. METHODS: A total of 292 Japanese patients with normal tension glaucoma and 500 healthy control subjects...
