MicroRNA-related polymorphisms in pseudoexfoliation syndrome, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, and primary open-angle glaucoma.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to report distinct associations of PEX, PEXG, and POAG in the same population with variants of genes involved in miRNA biogenesis and with miRNA genes' polymorphisms. Further studies in larger groups of patients of various origins are needed to confirm the reported preliminary results. PMID: 30148417 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
