Commonalities of optic nerve injury and glaucoma-induced neurodegeneration: Insights from transcriptome-wide studies

Abstract excerpt

Glaucoma is a collection of diseases that lead to an irreversible vision loss due to damage of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Although the underlying events leading to RGC death are not fully understood, recent research efforts are beginning to define the genetic changes that play a critical role in the initiation and progression of glaucomatous injury and RGC death. Several genetic and experimental animal models...
