1. This study investigated the association of 48
genetic markers in multiple genes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
2. This study confirmed the association of variant rs4236601 in the CAV1/CAV2 gene locus with POAG in Chinese, and suggested a common variant in this locus, rs3801994, as a new genetic biomarker for POAG in Chinese.
3. This study revealed the association of the CDNK2B gene variant rs3217986 with normal-tension POAG, and rs2157719 with high-tension POAG in Chinese.
4. This study confirmed the association of variant rs33912345 in the SIX6 gene with POAG, and identified a new variant rs12436579 for the disease in Chinese.
5. This study simulated a genetic prediction model that can incorporate multiple gene variants for the prediction of individual risk of POAG.
