Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the connection between genetic variants and the necessity for glaucoma surgery among Japanese patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
  • - A significant link was found between genetic risk scores (GRS) related to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and a history of glaucoma surgery, while optic nerve-related genetic variants showed no such association.
  • - Patients with a history of glaucoma surgery had higher mean GRS values for IOP-related variants compared to those without surgery, suggesting that these genetic factors are important in predicting surgical intervention.
