Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies report single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PKHD1-TFAP2B genomic interval are associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) but do not distinguish the causal gene. While neural crest cell (NCC)-specific Tfap2b inactivation causes anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD) and congenital glaucoma (CG), PKHD1 mutations cause autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. We now...
