Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is considered as a neurodegenerative disorder in which the optic nerve damage leads to irreversible blindness. Many scientific findings indicate miRNA implication in the neurodegeneration process. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the polymorphic variants of miRNA processing genes, RAN (rs14035) and GEMIN3 (rs197388), and their association with a risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG)...
