Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 gene polymorphisms with normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in the South Korean population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 700 South Korean subjects were recruited: 146 patients with NTG, 174 patients with POAG, and 380 healthy adults. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs3918429, rs2274755,...
