PRSS56 is required for the developmental positioning of ocular angle structures

2018-07-02

Abstract excerpt

Angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is a severe form of glaucoma affecting up to 16 million people worldwide. In ACG, physical blockage of the ocular drainage tissue by the peripheral iris impedes the drainage of aqueous humor resulting in elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and subsequent optic nerve damage. Despite the high prevalence of ACG, the precise mechanism(s) underlying pathogenesis are only partially understoo...
