Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major modifiable risk factor for glaucoma. However, the mechanisms underlying the controlling of IOP remain to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE: To prioritize genes that are pleiotropically associated with IOP. METHODS: We adopted a two-sample Mendelian randomization method, named summary-based Mendelian randomization (SMR), to examine the pleiotropic effect of gene expression...
