PURPOSE To analyze oxidative stress in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). MATERIAL AND METHODS A case-control study including 90 eyes of 90 patients who needed antiglaucomatous surgery in the course of POAG (glaucoma group, n=50) and from patients who were operated of nonpathologic cataracts (cataract group, n=40).

The prevalence of glaucoma increases with age (Friedman et al. 2006). The reported prevalence among whites in their 80s varies widely across these studies, with estimate...
متن کاملAssociation between p53 Codon 72 (Arg72Pro) Polymorphism and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Iranian Patients
Background: Glaucomatous neuropathy is a type of cell death due to apoptosis. The p53 gene is one of the regulatory genes of apoptosis. Recently, the association between the p53 gene encoding for proline at codon 72 and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) has been studied in some ethnic groups. This study is the first association analysis of POAG and p53 codon 72 polymorphism in Iranian patients...

متن کاملPrimary open-angle glaucoma
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is an idiopathic disorder in which the resistance to outflow through the trabecular meshwork gradually increases and the intraocular pressure (IOP) rises, causing irreversible damage to the optic nerve POAG is the second most common cause of vision loss in the U.S. Usually asymptomatic until advanced visual field loss has occurred; less than 50% of those...
