Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the -251T > A variant in the IL8 gene affects the risk of developing primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) in a North Indian Punjabi population, focusing on its genetic association.
- A total of 226 POAG, 132 PACG patients, and 424 controls were analyzed; results showed a significant association between the variant and PACG in males, indicating that certain genotypes may offer protective effects.
- The findings highlight a potential genetic factor contributing to sex differences in glaucoma susceptibility, suggesting the need for further research into the biological mechanisms driving this disparity.
