Evaluation of LOXL1 gene polymorphisms in exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma
PURPOSE To evaluate genetic susceptibility of lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene polymorphisms to exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) in a case-control cohort of American and European patients. METHODS DNA from a total of 620 individuals including 287 exfoliation patients and 333 healthy control subjects were extracted by standard methods. Three single nucleotide polymorp...
متن کاملAssociation of LOXL1 gene polymorphisms with exfoliation syndrome/glaucoma and primary open angle glaucoma in a Turkish population
PURPOSE To investigate the association of lysyl oxidase like 1 (LOXL1) variants with exfoliation syndrome (XFS), exfoliation glaucoma (XFG), and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in a Turkish population. METHODS Two LOXL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1048661 (R141L) and rs3825942 (G153D), were analyzed in 300 Turkish patients (100 patients with XFS, 100 patients with XFG, 100 pa...
متن کاملLOXL1 gene sequence variants and vascular disease in exfoliation syndrome and exfoliative glaucoma.
PURPOSE To investigate whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the LOXL1 gene associated with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliative glaucoma (XFG) are different in XFS/XFG patients with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD); and to compare the allele frequencies in XFS/XFG with those in ischemic cerebrovascular disease (stroke), in the Hungarian population. METHODS G153D...
متن کاملP-191: Association of STK11 Gene Polymorphisms with Methformin Treatment in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background: Metformin is an insulin sensitizing drug, which is co-administered with Clominophene citrate or gonadotropins in most cases of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), to improve ovulation. STK11 gene is necessary for action of metformin. Therefore the study of STK11 polymorphisms is important as pharmacogenetics aspects of metformin. The aim of our study was to investigate polymorphism of...
متن کاملExfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma-associated LOXL1 variations are not involved in pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma
PURPOSE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LOXL1 gene have been implicated in exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG). We have shown that these SNPs are not associated with the primary glaucomas such as primary open-angle (POAG) glaucoma and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG). To further establish the specificity of LOXL1 SNPs for XFS and XFG, we determined wheth...
