Abstract excerpt
Glaucoma is the largest cause of irreversible blindness with a multifactorial genetic etiology. This study explores novel genes and gene networks in familial forms of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) to identify rare mutations with high penetrance. Thirty-one samples from nine MYOC-negative families (five POAG and four PACG) underwent whole-exome sequencing and...
