Abstract:
The article reviews literature on developmental stages of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). This problem is currently developing and one of the most complex in ophthalmology. The article considers main GWAS of POAG and established GWAS-significant polymorphisms associated with the disease. The topic of genome-wide studies of primary open-angle glaucoma will be of certain interest to ophthalmologists, materials on GWAS-significant loci can be used both in the selection of polymorphisms in replicative studies of POAG in various populations of Russia, and to expand ideas about the molecular genetic mechanisms of the development of the disease.
