Common variants near ABCA1, AFAP1 and GMDS confer risk of primary open-angle glaucoma

TL;DR: This paper investigated the association of the top SNPs from the discovery stage in two Australian replication cohorts and two US replication cohorts (2,616 cases and 2,634 controls total) and Meta-analysis of all cohorts identified three loci newly associated with development of primary open-angle glaucoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ancestral LOXL1 variants are associated with pseudoexfoliation in Caucasian Australians but with markedly lower penetrance than in Nordic people.

TL;DR: Caucasian population has a 9-fold lower lifetime incidence of pseudoexfoliation syndrome compared with Nordic populations despite having similar allelic architecture at the LOXL1 locus, which strongly suggests that as yet unidentified genetic or environmental factors independent of LO XL1 strongly influence the phenotypic expression of the syndrome.
