Abstract:
Glaucoma,especially common primary open-angle glaucoma and primary angle-closure glaucoma,shows high genetic heterogeneity. The causing-disease genes known are difficult to explain some glaucomatous cases,and the study on the susceptibial gene of glaucoma do not achieve new breakthroughs. Combined with the newest progression in genetic study of glaucoma,some views were proposed in this paper in order to better understand the updating study of the pathogenesis mechanism.
