The data suggest an activation of stress/apoptotic pathways in HTM cells as a potential mechanism for environmental/genetic interactions in glaucoma pathogenesis.

Exposure to heavy metal in soil, water, or the environment is a high-risk factor for developing glaucoma, researchers from ...

Molecular genetic studies conducted during the last several years have thrown some light on the basic molecular defects in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and the rationale behind the clinical ...

Research also indicates a strong genetic predisposition, particularly evident in cases of juvenile-onset and early adult-onset glaucoma linked to specific gene mutations. The pathophysiology of ...

The course will update and extend participants knowledge of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Participating optometrists will further develop their clinical ...
