Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the possible association of rs1048661 and rs3825942 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene of cataract patients from southwestern Greece with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome.
Patients And Methods: Ninety-three patients with PEX syndrome and 74 without PEX syndrome were recruited with the principal diagnosis being cataract. LOXL1 SNPs, rs1048661 and rs3825942, were genotyped by using polymerase chain reaction.
Results: The G allele of rs1048661 was found in 96.7% in the PEX group as compared to 80.5% of non-PEX alleles (P=19×10(-4); Odds ratio [OR] =5.37; 95% confidence interval [CI] =1.68-17.12). Similarly, the G allele of rs3825942 was found in 72.1% of the PEX group as compared to 41.8% of non-PEX alleles (P=4×10(-5); OR =3.78; 95% CI =1.98-7.23). The T and A allele frequencies of rs1048661 and rs3825942, respectively, were underrepresented in the PEX group patients as compared to non-PEX group.
Conclusion: Our data confirm previously reported association between LOXL1 polymorphisms and PEX syndrome in a southwestern Greek population. A significant association was found for the G allele of rs1048661 and rs3825942 demonstrating that the GG haplotype is a high-risk factor for the development of PEX syndrome.

The phenotypic similarities between exfoliation syndrome (XFS)/exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) and pigment dispersion syndrome (PDS)/pigmentary glaucoma (PG), particularly their association with material deposition in the eye's anterior segment, have prompted investigations into genetic commonalities. This study focuses on the gene, conducting a comprehensive meta-analysis of three candidate gene association studies. We analyzed three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of : rs1048661, rs3825942, and rs2165241.

Purpose: Environmental and genetic factors are associated with development of Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS). Here we intended to elucidate the association of candidate genes in relevance to UV exposure in these patients.
Methods: This is a case-control study of 309 subjects ( = 219 controls and 90 XFS cases) from India.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to genotype two previously identified SNPs (rs1048661:R141L, and rs3825942:G153D) in the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene and determine their association with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (XFG) in patients from Pune, India.
Methods: All subjects underwent detailed phenotyping, and DNA extraction was performed on blood samples by using standardized techniques. Exon 1 of the LOXL1 gene containing the SNPs (rs3825942:G153D; rs1048661:R141L) were Sanger sequenced, and the results were analyzed using sequence analysis software SeqScape 2.

Introduction: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy that leads to visual field defects. Genetic mechanisms seem to be involved in glaucoma development. Lysyl Oxidase Like 1 () has been described in previous studies as a predictor factor for exfoliation glaucoma.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding LOXL1 are risk factors for exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma. This meta-analysis comprehensively investigated the association between LOXL1 gene polymorphisms (rs1048661, rs3825942, and rs2165241) and the risk of exfoliation syndrome/exfoliation glaucoma (XFS)/(XFG).
Methods: All eligible case-control studies, published before August 17, 2020, were searched on Medline (Ovid), PubMed, CNKI, EMBASE, and Wanfang databases.
