Glaucoma Genetics: Lessons Learned and the New Frontier.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic analyses have led to the identification of 12 genes primarily responsible for early-onset glaucoma and hundreds of genomic loci influencing adult-onset disease risk. Childhood glaucoma genes encode for proteins involved in ocular development and extracellular matrix, while genetic factors influencing adult-onset disease are involved in a number of biological pathways and processes. Genes responsible for...
