Mitochondrial Genome Study Identifies Association Between Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Variants in MT-CYB, MT-ND4 Genes and Haplogroups
16 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background and purpose: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is an optic neuropathy characterized by death of retinal ganglion cells and atrophy of the optic nerve head. The susceptibility of the optic nerve to damage has been shown to be mediated by mitochondrial dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to determine a possible association between mitochondrial SNPs or haplogroups and POAG. Methods: Mitochondrial DNA...
