Abstract excerpt
The genes in the 9p21 locus (CDKN2B-AS1 & CDKN2B) are widely associated with Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). However, the functional importance of this locus in POAG pathogenesis is still unexplored. This study investigated the role of CDKN2BAS1-CDKN2B axis in POAG. We observed significant association of CDKN2B-AS1 SNP rs4977756 with POAG and its endophenotypic traits (vertical cup-disc ratio (p = 0.033) and...
