REVIEW
Research progress on human genes involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma (Review).
Molecular Medicine Reports 2018 July
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. It is known that the incidence of glaucoma is closely associated with inheritance. A large number of studies have suggested that genetic factors are involved in the occurrence and development of glaucoma, and even affect the drug sensitivity and prognosis of glaucoma. In the present review, 22 loci of glaucoma are presented, including the relevant genes (myocilin, interleukin 20 receptor subunit B, optineurin, ankyrin repeat‑ and SOCS box‑containing protein 10, WD repeat‑containing protein 36, EGF‑containing fibulin‑like extracellular matrix protein 1, neurotrophin 4, TANK‑binding kinase 1, cytochrome P450 subfamily I polypeptide 1, latent transforming growth factor β binding protein 2 and TEK tyrosine kinase endothelial) and 74 other genes (including toll‑like receptor 4, sine oculis homeobox Drosophila homolog of 1, doublecortin‑like kinase 1, RE repeats‑encoding gene, retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator‑interacting protein, lysyl oxidase‑like protein 1, heat‑shock 70‑kDa protein 1A, baculoviral IAP repeat‑containing protein 6, 5,10‑methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and nitric oxide synthase 3 and nanophthalmos 1) that are more closely associated with glaucoma. The pathogenesis of these glaucoma‑associated genes, glaucomatous genetics and genetic approaches, as well as glaucomatous risk factors, including increasing age, glaucoma family history, high myopia, diabetes, ocular trauma, smoking, intraocular pressure increase and/or fluctuation were also discussed.
