Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma-associated Genetic Polymorphisms in Northeast Iran

Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

Primary angle-closure glaucoma

The picture of primary angle-closure glaucoma accompanied by its shallow anterior chamber is so distinct that for many years it has evoked considerable curiosity concerning possible genetic determination. Family trees were published (Sedan and Sedan-Bauby, 1949; Waardenburg, I96I) and attempts were made to fit the inheritance into a genetic pattern-but without convincing success. Authors seemed...

Association of eNOS polymorphisms with primary angle-closure glaucoma.

PURPOSE Recently, several studies have investigated genetic associations between Cytochrome P450 (CYP1B1), Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and Neurotrophin-4 (NTF4) with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in various ethnic groups. We investigated the association of these candidate genes with PACG in samples from Australia and Nepal. METHODS A total of 235 patients with PACG (106 ...

TNF-α and TNF-β Gene Polymorphisms with Primary Open Angle and Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma

Resident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy in primary angle closure, primary angle closure suspects, and primary angle closure glaucoma

PURPOSE To investigate the power use and complication frequency of resident-performed laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 196 eyes from 103 patients who underwent neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser iridotomy performed by resident physicians from January 1, 2010 through April 30, 2015 at a university-based county hospital was done. All patients were trea...
