Abstract excerpt
Purpose: In a previous study, we identified the Asn450Tyr mutant myocilin gene (Myoc-N450Y) in the pedigree of families with juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG), but whether N450Y is a pathogenic mutation remained to be determined. The present study aimed at exploring the role of Myoc-N450Y in primary human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells. Methods: Primary HTM cells were infected with lentivirus with wild-type...
