Abstract excerpt
Purpose: To investigate the causal effect of elevated blood pressure on primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and POAG endophenotypes. Methods: Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was performed to investigate the causal effect of elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) (N = 757,601) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (N = 757,601) on intraocular pressure (IOP) (N = 139,555), macular retinal nerve fiber layer...
