Association of Genetic Variants With Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Among Individuals With African Ancestry

Proud to be part of this study exploring the genetics of POAG and potential link to AD in individuals of African Ancestry.

In this GWAS study, a genetic variant in the APBB2 gene was associated with a higher risk of primary open-angle glaucoma in individuals of African ancestry but not in individuals of European or Asian ancestry https://t.co/6gltlemiNg

In this paper, scientists aim to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of African ancestry populations and evaluate potential mechanisms of pathogenesis for loci associated with primary open-angle glaucoma. See the outcomes: https://t.co/rvpY…
