abstract：:Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of blindness in the world. A number of mutations in the myocilin gene have been identified that predispose to glaucoma. The most frequent of these is the Glutamine368STOP (Q368STOP) mutation. It has been postulated that individuals with the Q368STOP mutation are de...
