Common Variants at 9p21 and 8q22 Are Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Optic Nerve Degeneration in Glaucoma

TL;DR: The authors performed a meta-analysis of two independent genome-wide association studies for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) followed by a normal pressure (NPG) defined by intraocular pressure (IOP) less than 22 mmHg subgroup analysis.

Common Variants at 9p21 and 8q22 Are Associated with Increased Susceptibility to Optic Nerve Degeneration in Glaucoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that neuro-protective therapies targeting TGF-beta signaling could be effective for multiple forms of glaucoma, and genomic pathway analysis showed an association between the T GF-beta pathway and NPG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and Functional Annotation of SIX6 Variants in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that SIX6 risk variants disrupt the development of the neural retina, leading to a reduced number of retinal ganglion cells, thereby increasing the risk of glaucoma-associated vision loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-ancestry genome-wide association analysis of corneal thickness strengthens link between complex and Mendelian eye diseases

TL;DR: The authors identify 19 novel genetic loci associated with CCT, a subset of which is involved in rare corneal or connective tissue disorders, and implicate candidate genes acting in collagen and extracellular matrix regulation.
