Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the shared genetic mechanisms between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Using large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) data, we performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) level analysis to detect pleiotropic variants and loci, paired eQTL mapping analysis and gene-level analysis to identify candidate pleiotropic genes. In addition, Mendelian...
