A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

Axial length, myopia progression, and myopic maculopathy in Stickler syndrome
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose We lack knowledge on the potentially progressive nature of and the prevalence of complications to myopia as a characteristic trait of Stickler syndrome. Methods This cross‐sectional study combines ophthalmic examination and medical record data on Danish patients with genetically confirmed Stickler syndrome type 1 (COL2A1) and type 2 ...

The “Reducing Inflammation for Greater Health Trial (RIGHT)” Study—Concept, Rationale, and Design
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Reducing Inflammation for Greater Health Trial's (RIGHT) study is a single‐center, randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial designed to test whether clazkizumab, an interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) inhibitor, can improve or slow decline in physical, cognitive, and vascular function in older adults, when compared to a placebo.
