A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. Here, Choquet and co-authors perform a multi-ethnic genome-wide association study of repeat IOP measurements in 69,756 individuals and identify 40 novel loci, 36 of which show directionally consistent effects in glaucoma.
