Description

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that can lead to blindness by damaging the optic nerve. It impairs the eye’s ability to drain fluid, resulting in increased eye pressure, which subsequently causes damage to the optic nerve in the back of the eye. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the pathogenicity of TBK1 diversity associated with Glaucoma.
