Article Synopsis
- Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) is an age-related eye disease marked by protein deposits on the eye, and this study investigates the role of specific genetic variants in the fibulin-5 (FBLN5) gene as potential risk factors for developing PEX.
- Researchers analyzed 13 genetic variants (SNPs) in FBLN5 using advanced genotyping methods on a sample of 200 controls and 273 PEX patients to uncover associations between these SNPs and the disease.
- The study finds significant links between two specific variants (rs17732466 and rs72705342) and severe PEX known as pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG), highlighting rs72705342 as a functional variant that
Rice is the staple food for majority of the global population. But, rice grain has low protein content (PC). Mapping of QTLs controlling grain PC is essential for enhancement of the trait through breeding programs.
