Genome-wide discovery reveals 30 loci for choroidal thickness and uncovers potential causal links with angle-closure glaucoma

2026-05-27

Abstract excerpt

The choroid is critical for maintaining vision and implicated in several ocular diseases, being the sole source of nutrients and waste removal for the outer retina. Genetic discovery can help elucidate the pathways through which choroidal features influence disease risk. Our meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (n= 78,682 participants) identified 30 genomic regions, including 20 novel loci, associated...
