Article Synopsis
- Exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) is a leading cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma, marked by protein buildup in the eye's anterior segment.
- Researchers studied LOXL1 gene variants in a cohort from Utah, examining SNPs rs2165241 and rs3825942 in 62 XFG patients and 170 controls, aiming to link genetic factors to the disease.
- The study found significant genetic associations between these SNPs and XFG/XFS, indicating that individuals with certain genetic profiles may be at higher risk, potentially enhancing glaucoma monitoring efforts.
