• Large-scale multitrait genome-wide association analyses identify hundreds of glaucoma risk loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37386247

  ABSTRACT: Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is a highly heritable human disease. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified over 100 loci for the most common form, primary open-angle glaucoma. Two key glaucoma-associated traits also show high heritability: intraocular pressure and optic nerve head excavation damage quantified as the vertical cup-to-disc ratio. Here, since much of glaucoma heritability remains unexplained, we conducted a large-scale multitrait genome-wide association study in participants of European ancestry combining primary open-angle glaucoma and its two associated traits (total sample size over 600,000) to substantially improve genetic discovery power (263 loci). We further increased our power by then employing a multiancestry approach,

• Multitrait analysis of glaucoma identifies new risk loci and enables polygenic prediction of disease susceptibility and progression - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31959993

  ABSTRACT: Glaucoma, a disease characterized by progressive optic nerve degeneration, can be prevented through timely diagnosis and treatment. We characterized optic nerve photographs of 67,040 UK Biobank participants and used a multitrait genetic model to identify risk loci for glaucoma. A novel glaucoma polygenic risk score (PRS) enables effective risk stratification in unselected glaucoma cases, and modifies penetrance of MYOC p.Gln368Ter, the most common glaucoma-associated myocilin variant. In the unselected glaucoma population, individuals in the top PRS decile reach an absolute risk for glaucoma 10 years earlier than the bottom decile, and are at 15-fold increased risk of developing advanced glaucoma (top 10% vs. remaining 90% OR = 4.20). The PRS predicts glaucoma progression in pros
