Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease that affects the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). The main risk factor is elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), but the actual cause of the disease remains unknown. Emerging evidence indicates that metabolic dysfunction plays a central role.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness worldwide in older people. Profiling the aqueous humor, including the metabolites it contains, is useful to understand physiological and pathological conditions in the eye. In the current study, we used mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize the aqueous humor metabolomic profile and biological features of patients with glaucoma.

Normal-tension glaucoma is a form of optic nerve degeneration that is characterized by loss of retinal ganglion cells independent of eye pressure elevation. In this issue of the JCI, Pan et al. report the discovery in a Japanese family of a mutation in the METTL23 gene, which encodes a histone arginine methyltransferase that causes normal-pressure glaucoma in haploinsufficiency.
