CYP39A1 G204E variant ups risk of glaucoma, blindness in patients with exfoliation syndrome
Patients with exfoliating syndrome (XFS) who carry the CYP39A1 G204E mutation are at significantly higher risk of blindness, have higher occurrence of exfoliation glaucoma (XFG), and display more severe glaucoma than those with XFS without any CYP39A1 mutation, reveals a study.
