Article Synopsis
- Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is a significant risk factor for secondary glaucoma, contributing to blindness globally, with known genetic variants in LOXL1 and CACNA1A linked to the condition.
- Researchers conducted a study analyzing samples from multiple countries, discovering a rare protective allele at LOXL1 and refining its association, which had been previously inconsistent across different populations.
