Abstract excerpt
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major type of glaucoma characterized by progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells with associated visual field loss without an identifiable secondary cause. Genetic factors are considered to be major contributors to the pathogenesis of glaucoma. The aim of the study was to identify the causative gene in a large family with POAG by applying whole exome sequencing (WES). WES...
