Journal ArticleDOI

Primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common type and management of POAG includes topical drug therapies and surgery to reduce IOP, although new therapies targeting neuroprotection of RGCs and axonal regeneration are under development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detectable clonal mosaicism from birth to old age and its relationship to cancer.

Cathy C. Laurie, +72 more
- 01 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Clonal mosaicism for large chromosomal anomalies (duplications, deletions and uniparental disomy) is detected using SNP microarray data from over 50,000 subjects recruited for genome-wide association studies to identify common deleted regions with genes previously associated with hematological cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in genes encoding melanosomal proteins cause pigmentary glaucoma in DBA/2J mice.

TL;DR: The rescue of IPD and ISA in D2 eyes with substantially decreased pigment production is supported, indicating that pigment production and mutant melanosomal protein genes may contribute to human pigmentary glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analyses identify multiple loci associated with central corneal thickness and keratoconus.

Yi Lu, +98 more
- 01 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis on >20,000 individuals in European and Asian populations that identified 16 new loci associated with CCT at genome-wide significance showed that 2 CCT-associated loci conferred relatively large risks for keratoconus in 2 cohorts with 874 cases and 6,085 controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple procedure for resolution of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase holoenzyme from core polymerase.

TL;DR: A method for the isolation of homogeneous Escherichia coli RNA polymerase holoenzyme is described, in which only small amounts of σ subunit are lost and RNA polymerases holoenzymes are well separated from the core polymerase.
