A glaucoma‐associated OPTN polymorphism, M98K sensitizes retinal cells to endoplasmic reticulum stress and tumour necrosis factor α
27 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Optineurin/OPTN polymorphism, M98K is associated with normal tension glaucoma in certain populations, and genetic evidence shows its interaction with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) polymorphism in causing glaucoma. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is also associated with glaucoma. We hypothesized that M98K-OPTN may sensitize retinal ganglion cells to various types of stress. To test this hypothesis, stable...
