Rare protective variants and glaucoma-relevant cell stressors modulate Angiopoietin-like 7 expression
23 May 2023
Abstract excerpt
Rare missense and nonsense variants in the Angiopoietin-like 7 (ANGPTL7) gene confer protection from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), though the functional mechanism remains uncharacterized. Interestingly, a larger variant effect size strongly correlates with in silico predictions of increased protein instability (r = -0.98), suggesting that protective variants lower ANGPTL7 protein levels. Here, we show that...
