Investigating the Genetic Basis of Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome, Angle-closure Glaucoma and Primary Open-angle Glaucoma
Sponsor: Medical University of Vienna
Summary
There is increasing evidence that there are genetic risk factors for several forms of glaucoma, such as glaucoma caused by pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXF) ,primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The aim of the present prospective, multi-center, case-control study is to identify susceptibility genes/loci for PXF, PACG and POAG using a whole genome association (WGA) approach.
