Abstract excerpt
Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) is a multifactorial age-related disease involving deposition of extracellular proteinaceous aggregates on anterior ocular tissues. The present study aims to identify functional variants in fibulin-5 (FBLN5) as risk factors for the development of PEX. Thirteen tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FBLN5 were genotyped using TaqMan SNP genotyping technology to identify association...
