Screening of CYP1B1 Arg368His as predominant mutation in North Indian primary open angle glaucoma and juvenile onset glaucoma patients
In India, mutations in Cytochrome P450 (CYP1B1) are a predominant cause of not only primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) but also involved in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and juvenile onset glaucoma (JOAG). After ethical clearance, 100 POAG patients, 30 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients and 130 ethnically matched controls were recruited in this study. Genomic DNA was is...
متن کاملAssociation between p53 Codon 72 (Arg72Pro) Polymorphism and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Iranian Patients
Background: Glaucomatous neuropathy is a type of cell death due to apoptosis. The p53 gene is one of the regulatory genes of apoptosis. Recently, the association between the p53 gene encoding for proline at codon 72 and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) has been studied in some ethnic groups. This study is the first association analysis of POAG and p53 codon 72 polymorphism in Iranian patients...
متن کاملMutations in the myocilin gene in families with primary open-angle glaucoma and juvenile open-angle glaucoma.
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of myocilin (MYOC) mutations in Italian families with glaucoma and to determine the relationship of these mutations to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG), and pigmentary dispersion glaucoma. METHODS Twenty-six patients with POAG were selected based on a positive family history of glaucoma. All patients and 210 relat...
متن کاملDefining the pathogenicity of optineurin in juvenile open-angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE Juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) differs from primary open-angle glaucoma in that it is usually a more severe phenotype and has an earlier age of onset. Optineurin was recently associated with a variant of POAG that is characterized by intraocular pressure within normal limits: normal-tension glaucoma. The present study tested whether OPTN sequence changes play a role in early-onset ...
متن کاملClinical Characteristics of Juvenile-onset Open Angle Glaucoma.
PURPOSE To demonstrate the clinical characteristics of juvenile-onset open angle glaucoma (JOAG) and to evaluate the prognostic factors for visual field (VF) progression in eyes with JOAG. METHODS The medical records of 125 eyes of 72 patients with JOAG were analyzed retrospectively. At least four reliable VF tests were required to determine the VF progression, and the progression was defined...
