Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies identifies novel loci that influence cupping and the glaucomatous process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Glaucoma is characterized by irreversible optic nerve degeneration and is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Here, the International Glaucoma Genetics Consortium conducts a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of ...

An investigation of genetic risk factors in primary open-angle glaucoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic component. Notably however, few genes have been robustly associated with POAG in the general population.

OPA1 increases the risk of normal but not high tension glaucoma

open access: yes, 2010

The medical management of glaucoma

open access: yesSouth African Family Practice, 2017
Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. The main characteristic features include optic disc cupping, visual field loss, and in most instances a raised intraocular pressure.

Biomarkers of primary open-angle glaucoma [PDF]

open access: yesExpert Review of Ophthalmology, 2010
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a primary neuronal disease of the optic nerve without a definable cause, and is often associated with increased intraocular pressure. Worldwide, POAG is the second leading cause of blindness; there are 45 million people today with POAG and bilateral blindness is present in 4.5 million of these.

Pharmacogenetics of ophthalmic topical β-blockers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. The primary glaucoma risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure. Topical β-blockers are affordable and widely used to lower intraocular pressure.
