Conclusions: Although the number of natural teeth was not associated with risk of POAG, recent tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of POAG. Because these findings may be due to chance, they need confirmation in larger studies.]]> Tue 03 Oct 2017 13:26:04 AEDT ]]> Cross-ancestry genome-wide association analysis of corneal thickness strengthens link between complex and Mendelian eye diseases https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32383 20% of the CCT-loci are near or within Mendelian disorder genes. These included FBN1, ADAMTS2 and TGFB2 which associate with connective tissue disorders (Marfan, Ehlers-Danlos and Loeys-Dietz syndromes), and the LUM-DCN-KERA gene complex involved in myopia, corneal dystrophies and cornea plana. Using index CCT-increasing variants, we find a significant inverse correlation in effect sizes between CCT and keratoconus (r =-0.62, P = 5.30 × 10 -5 ) but not between CCT and primary open-angle glaucoma (r =-0.17, P = 0.2). Our findings provide evidence for shared genetic influences between CCT and keratoconus, and implicate candidate genes acting in collagen and extracellular matrix regulation.]]> Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:09:41 AEST ]]> Irritable bowel syndrome and risk of glaucoma: An analysis of two independent population-based cohort studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49881 Fri 09 Jun 2023 10:36:37 AEST ]]>
