Frequently Asked Questions (13)
Q2. how many loci are identified for ocular axial length?
Nine loci for ocular axial length identified through genome-wide 473 association studies, including shared loci with refractive error.
Q3. What was the clinical significance of the PRS?
The clinical significance of the PRS was investigated 544 in advanced glaucoma cases in two populations, and a separate prospectively monitored clinical 545 cohort with early manifest glaucoma.
Q4. How many people had accurate age at diagnosis?
For sub-analyses 566 restricted to advanced POAG, there were 1,734 advanced POAG cases and 2,938 controls, and of 567 these cases 1,336 participants had accurate age at diagnosis information available.
Q5. what is the NEIGHBOR consortium primary open-angle glaucoma study?
The NEIGHBOR consortium primary open-angle glaucoma genome-wide 655 association study: rationale, study design, and clinical variables.
Q6. How many patients were required to undergo trabeculectomy?
Proportion of 530 patients requiring trabeculectomy in either eye in the ANZRAG POAG cohort (linear regression P = 3.6 × 10-6).
Q7. How was the PRS used in other studies?
The predictive ability of the PRS was also explored in other 546 datasets; however, to ensure their results generalize to further cohorts, the authors selected mutually exclusive 547 samples for inclusion in the discovery and testing datasets to ensure no sample overlap.
Q8. What was the GWAS summary for VCDR and intraocular pressure?
The authors also used publicly available VCDR and intraocular pressure GWAS summary results 562 for individuals of European descent from the International Glaucoma Genetics Consortium (IGGC; 563 nVCDR = 23,899, nintraocular pressure = 29,578)35.
Q9. how many gwas statistics are available for research purposes?
GWAS summary statistics from the glaucoma MTAG analysis are 634 available for research uses at URL (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.10635854 ) after publication.
Q10. How did the authors identify the independent SNPs?
615 The authors used a stepwise model selection procedure in the GCTA-COJO software to identify 616 independent genome-wide significant SNPs45.
Q11. How will the UK Biobank data be returned?
635 The authors will return the derived data fields following the UK biobank policy and in due course they will be 636 available through the UK Biobank Access Management System.
Q12. What is the effect size of the MTAG analysis?
their MTAG analysis outputs glaucoma-specific effect size estimates and P-541 values for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across the genome.
Q13. what is the tyFH of a glaucomalo?
