Original Title:
Συγκέντρωση TGF και Μεταλλοπρωτεϊνασών στον ορό αίματος ασθενών με χρόνιο απλό και ψευδοαποφολιδωτικό γλαύκωμα
Translated title:
TGF and matrix metalloproteinases in blood serum and their role in primary open angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma
Summary:
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify any potential association between the single nucleotide polymorphism rs1800470 (869Τ/C) located at in exon 1 which can lead to a leucine-to-proline substitution at codon 10, and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.
Methods: One hundred and fourteen Open Angle Glaucoma cases and a control group of 138 healthy cases were recruited from the 1st Ophthalmology Department of Athens University. DNA was isolated from whole blood samples and genotype frequencies for the polymorphism rs1800470 (869Τ/C) of the TGF-β1 gene were assessed.
Results: No significant differences in genotype distribution frequencies for the polymorphism rs1800470 (869Τ/C) of the TGF-β1 gene could be established between patients with POAG and control subjects.
Conclusions: The present study failed to find any significant genotypic association with POAG.
