| Research Abstract |
To identify the susceptible genes for normal tension glaucoma (NTG), we collected blood samples from more than 600 Japanese patients with NTG and extracted DNA. We performed genome-wide association study with DNA microarray using 280 samples from NTG patients and 560 healthy controls as the 1st screening. Moreover, the 2nd screening and replication study were performed using the indipendent case and control sets. As the results, we found a gene locus that might be closely associated with the susceptibility of NTG.
