Investigation of the Rho-kinase Gene Polymorphism in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A number of mutations in the VSX1 and SOD1 genes have been reported to be associated with keratoconus (KC), however the results from different studies are controversial. In this study, we conducted the genotyping of common polymorphisms [VSX1: D144E, H244R, R166W, G160D; SOD1: intronic 7-base deletion (c.169...
