Abstract excerpt
PRéCIS:: One (0.2%) of 418 Korean normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) patients had TBK1 duplication. The putative mechanism of TBK1 duplication in Korean NTG patients is the nonhomologous end-joining. PURPOSE: TBK1 duplication is a genomic cause of familial NTG. NTG accounts for up to 90% of primary open-angle glaucoma in Koreans, with genetic tendency. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of TBK1 duplication in...
