Exfoliation Syndrome and Exfoliation Glaucoma in the Navajo Nation [PDF]

Vision, 2022
(1) Background: Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a common cause of secondary open angle glaucoma. In 1971, Faulkner et al. estimated the prevalence of XFS among 50 Navajo Nation residents as 38%.

Towards preventing exfoliation glaucoma by targeting and removing fibrillar aggregates associated with exfoliation syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2022
Exfoliation syndrome presents as an accumulation of insoluble fibrillar aggregates that commonly correlates with age and causes ocular complications, most notably open-angle glaucoma.

Risk factors for early-onset exfoliation syndrome [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Although exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related, late-onset disease, early-onset XFS has been reported, and its associated factors remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the clinical features and risk factors of early-onset XFS.

LOXL1 gene polymorphisms are associated with exfoliation syndrome/exfoliation glaucoma risk: An updated meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundSingle nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding LOXL1 are risk factors for exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma. This meta-analysis comprehensively investigated the association between LOXL1 gene polymorphisms (rs1048661 ...

Central retinal artery occlusion and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy associated with an overlap syndrome: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction An "overlap syndrome" is defined as the sequential appearance over time of two or more risk factors for glaucomatous damage. The appearance of a new risk factor can alter the course and prognosis of previously stable disease.
