Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Genomewide association studies (GWAS) have identified numerous primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) risk loci, yet most reside in non-coding regions with unclear function. Mapping these loci to effector genes can elucidate disease mechanisms, identify functionally conserved variants, improve cross-ancestry risk prediction by reducing population-specific noise, and uncover shared therapeutic targets....
