Purpose: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) represents the most prevalent form of glaucoma and stands as a foremost contributor to irreversible vision impairment on a global scale. Despite notable strides made in comprehending the genetic underpinnings of POAG, investigations within the context of Russia remain constrained.
Methods: The study cohort comprised a total of 235 individuals, with 135 of them exhibiting various forms of glaucoma encompassing both POAG and (NTG, while the remaining 100 individuals served as control subjects.
Unlabelled: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a multifactorial disease with both environmental and genetic factors involved in its pathogenesis.
Purpose: The study evaluates the role of a number of environmental and genetic risk factors in the risk of POAG development and builds a prognostic model.
Material And Methods: The study group included 197 patients aged 44 to 90 years (98 - patients with POAG, 99 - the control group), who were treated in the Republican Clinical Ophthalmological Hospital of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Tatarstan named after Prof.
