Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Mutations in the myocilin (MYOC) gene cause elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma. To better understand the factors influencing susceptibility to glaucoma, we studied the MYOC mutation (MYOCY437H). Methods: We characterized ocular phenotypes in Tg-MYOCY437H mice on nine different mouse strain backgrounds. Results: No glaucoma-related phenotypes were observed. We detected neither elevated intraocular...
