New Glaucoma Risk Variants Emerge From GWAS of African Ancestry Individuals
Researchers found 46 risk loci associated with primary open-angle glaucoma with the help of a genome-wide association study involving nearly 11,300 cases and controls.
The company has launched an updated test called AvaGen that returns diagnostic subtype results for corneal dystrophies and polygenic risk scores for keratoconus.
Combination of Sequencing, EHR Data Links Genes to Range of Conditions
The exome-by-phenome-wide analysis uncovered 21 novel gene-phenotype associations, including genes linked to glaucoma and diabetes.
Glaucoma Protective Variants Uncovered in Genetic Data From UK, Finland
With UK Biobank and FinnGenn data, researchers tracked down rare changes in the angiopoietin-like 7 gene that coincide with lower glaucoma and intraocular pressure risk.
Glaucoma Polygenic Risk Score Emerges From Multi-Trait Analysis in UK Biobank Participants
The new PRS could help identify people at increased risk who may benefit from earlier screening and treatment to prevent blindness.
