Abstract excerpt
Primary open-angle glaucoma typically presents as two subtypes. This study aimed to elucidate the shared and distinct genetic architectures of normal-tension (NTG) and high-tension glaucoma (HTG), motivated by the need to develop intraocular pressure (IOP)-independent drug targets for the disease. We conducted a comprehensive multi-ethnic meta-analysis, prioritized variants based on functional annotation, and...
