• GWAS for primary angle-closure glaucoma identifies loci related to ocular biometry and morphology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41238566

  ABSTRACT: GWAS of primary angle-closure glaucoma have identified eight loci conferring risk in Asian populations. However, it remains unclear whether the genetic risk factors for the disease are consistent across different populations. Here, we present a discovery GWAS for primary angle-closure glaucoma in Europeans using the UK Biobank. We replicate our findings in six independent European populations and compare these results with results from 14 Asian cohorts. Five genomic regions in the discovery cohort are associated at genome-wide significance, including two loci previously identified in Asian cohorts. We next meta-analyse the discovery and replication cohorts to identify six additional novel loci, all previously associated with refractive error. Mendelian randomisation provides evid
