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.

Large‐scale Whole‐Exome Sequencing Defines the Protein‐Coding Architecture of Retinal Structure, Visual Function, and Major Blinding Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale whole‐exome sequencing in 356,982 UK Biobank participants defines the protein‐coding architecture of retinal structure, visual function, and major blinding diseases. Pleiotropic genes, including CFI, C3, and RIOX1, bridge multiple retinal phenotypes, while experimental validation of FYB2 implicates RPE barrier dysfunction, providing ...

Mathematical Modelling of flow in Schlemm's canal and its influence on primary open angle glaucoma

open access: yes, 2008
POAG (Primary Open Angle Glaucoma) is a major cause of blindness. This normally occurs when the IOP (intraocular pressure) increases. High pressure can be caused by an imbalance in the production and drainage of fluid (aqueous humour, AH) in the eye.

GWAS-by-subtraction reveals an IOP-independent component of primary open angle glaucoma

open access: yesNature Communications
The etiology of primary open angle glaucoma is constituted by both intraocular pressure-dependent and intraocular pressure-independent mechanisms.

In Situ Photo‑Crosslinked Functional Bilayer Hydrogel Modulates Local Microenvironment and Remyelination After Optic Nerve Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A blue‐light‐crosslinked bilayer hydrogel was developed for local optic nerve repair. The adhesive GM‐Odex outer layer seals and anchors the lesion, while the non‐adhesive GM‐imid inner layer releases MPDA‐Cle without obstructing CSF flow. This system modulates oxidative and inflammatory microenvironments, supports oligodendrocyte differentiation and ...

OPA1 increases the risk of normal but not high tension glaucoma

open access: yes, 2010
Background Primary open angle glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy characterised by the selective loss of retinal ganglion cells, pathological optic disc cupping and visual field defects.

Modulation of Presynaptic Inhibitory Retinal Circuits for Retinal Ganglion Cell Neuroprotection in Glaucoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ocular hypertension induces early hyperactivity in inner retinal inhibitory circuitry before substantial retinal ganglion cell loss. Sustained pharmacological inhibition of GABAergic/glycinergic neurotransmission and Vgat‐targeted Lin28 expression suppress this hyperactivity and improve RGC survival without reducing intraocular pressure. These findings

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.

Optic Nerve Head Measurements Across Optical Coherence Tomography Platforms and Incidental Optic Nerve Head Drusen in Community Screenings

open access: yesEye &ENT Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Automated vertical cup‐to‐disc ratio (VCDR) measurements are commonly used in optic nerve assessment, but measurements may vary across optical coherence tomography (OCT) platforms, particularly in eyes with atypical optic nerve anatomy such as optic nerve head drusen (ONHD).
