Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To elucidate the role of the protein coding laminin α1 (LAMA1) gene in pathological myopia (PM) at the transcriptional level. To achieve this, the binding affinity of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2089760-located on the LAMA1 promoter gene-to human fetal scleral fibroblast (HFSF) nucleoprotein was investigated and its effect on LAMA1 transcriptional initiation activity was analyzed. METHODS:...
