Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies novel ancestry-specific primary open-angle glaucoma loci and shared biology with vascular mechanisms and cell proliferation
2021-12-17
Abstract excerpt
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. There is disparity in POAG prevalence and manifestations across ancestries. We identify novel and unique genetics that underlie POAG risk in different ancestries by performing meta-analysis across 15 biobanks (of the Global Biobank Meta-analysis Initiative) with previously multi-ancestry studies. 18 novel significant loci, th...
