Molecular Genetics in Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of sicknesses whose pathology is characterized by the dynamic loss of retinal ganglion cells. Clinically, glaucoma displays as a particular optic neuropathy with related visual field misfortune. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), chronic angle closure glaucoma (ACG), and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) are the most pervasive types of glaucoma all around and are the most widely recognized reasons for glaucoma-related visual impairment around the world. A large group of hereditary and ecological components add to glaucoma phenotypes. This survey inspects the present status of hereditary examinations of POAG, ACG, XFG, including the less basic types of glaucoma essential intrinsic glaucoma (PCG), the formative glaucoma’s, and shade scattering glaucoma.
