Common genetic determinants of intraocular pressure and primary open-angle glaucoma.

Common genetic determinants of intraocular pressure and primary open-angle glaucoma.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a highly heritable risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma and is the only target for current glaucoma therapy. The genetic factors which determine IOP are largely unknown. We performed a genome-wide association study for IOP in 11,972 participants from 4 independen...
