Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The etiology and pathogenesis of pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) and its advancement into pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEG) are not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the possible role played by two circulating microRNAs (miR-146a-5p and miR-196a-5p) in plasma and their functional genetic variants MIR146A rs2910164 and MIR196A2 rs11614913 in susceptibility to PEG or PEX. METHODS:...
