Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Genome-wide association studies have revealed many loci linked to glaucoma. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between a glaucoma polygenic risk score (GPRS) with glaucoma prevalence, intraocular pressure (IOP), and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (pRNFL) on a population-based level. Methods: Participants of the Gutenberg Health Study (aged 40-80 years) and the AugUR...
