Journal ArticleDOI
Correlations between tear cytokines, chemokines, and soluble receptors and clinical severity of dry eye disease.
TL;DR: An increase in the levels of IL-6 and IL-1 β are the earliest observable changes in patients with DED, and there were significant correlations between these molecules and the clinical severity of DED.
Journal ArticleDOI
The COL1A1 gene and high myopia susceptibility in Japanese.
Yumiko Inamori,Masao Ota,Hidetoshi Inoko,Eiichi Okada,Ritsuko Nishizaki,Tomoko Shiota,Jeewon Mok,Jeewon Mok,Akira Oka,Shigeaki Ohno,Nobuhisa Mizuki +10 more
TL;DR: Results provide the first evidence for COL1A1 as a gene associated with high myopia by analyzing the frequency of ten SNPs in a Japanese population of 330 subjects with highMyopia of −9.25 D or less and 330 randomized controls without highmyopia.
Journal ArticleDOI
VSX1 gene variants are associated with keratoconus in unrelated Korean patients
TL;DR: This study suggests that VSX1 gene variants seem to be significant genetic variants for keratoconus predisposition in unrelated Korean patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Q455V mutation in COL8A2 is associated with Fuchs' corneal dystrophy in Korean patients.
TL;DR: The authors' data constitute the first report of a heterozygous Q455V mutation of the COL8A2 gene in Korean patients with FECD, which may be the causative defect in the development and progression of Korean FECD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
New susceptibility locus for high myopia is linked to the uromodulin-like 1 (UMODL1) gene region on chromosome 21q22.3.
R Nishizaki,Masao Ota,Hidetoshi Inoko,Akira Meguro,T Shiota,E Okada,Jeewon Mok,Jeewon Mok,Akira Oka,Shigeaki Ohno,Nobuhisa Mizuki +10 more
TL;DR: The SNP is suggested to be located in the frequent recombinant region within U MODL1, which might play a critical role for susceptibility to high myopia, and warrants further confirming studies and investigations as to the mechanisms by which UMODL1 may contribute to myopia.
