ABSTRACT

Background: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a multifactorial disease that affects 65.5 million people worldwide. In addition to the genetic variants already established as indicators of greater risk for POAG, the apolipoprotein (APOE) gene has been studied in some populations, with controversial results. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of the genetic variants of APOE in the Brazilian population, and to evaluate the association between these polymorphisms and the risk of POAG.

Methods: APOE variants (rs429358; rs7412) were genotyped in 402 POAG patients and 401 controls. We evaluated the association between APOE genetic variants and the risk for POAG, as well as the correlation between the requirement of glaucoma surgery and the APOE polymorphisms.

Results: Among the three APOE gene isoforms, we found a low frequency of APOE alleles ε2 (7.34%) and ε4 (11.76%), but a high frequency of ε3 (80.88%) in our population. When compared to ε3ε3 reference genotype, ε2 allele-carriers (OR = 1.516; p-value = 0.04) and ε2ε3 genotype (OR = 1.655; p-value = 0.02) were associated with a greater risk for POAG. An additive genetic model confirmed the influence of the ε2 allele in the risk of POAG in this sample of the Brazilian population (OR = 1.502; p-value = 0.04). There was no significant association between the analyzed genotypes and the requirement or number of glaucoma surgeries (p > .05).

Conclusion: Brazilian individuals carrying the APOEε2 allele may be at an increased risk for the development of POAG.  相似文献

AIM: To assess the inflammatory cytokines expression in aqueous humor in diabetic primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study on 87 eyes, distributed as following: 26 eyes from diabetic patients, 16 eyes with POAG and 21 eyes from diabetic POAG patients; healthy controls (24 eyes) were recruited from patients undergoing conventional cataract surgery. A volume of 100 μL of aqueous humor (AH) was collected during phacoemulsification and 21 inflammatory markers were quantified using a Luminex® cytometric bead assay: IL-1Ra, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, GM-CSF, IFNγ, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CXCL5, CXCL8, bFGF, VEGF, TNFα. Main changes in cytokine profile were analyzed and compared between groups. Data on demographics, duration of glaucoma, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of anti-glaucoma substances were recorded for correlation analysis and prediction models. RESULTS: Significant differences in cytokine expression between groups were detected for CXCL5 (P<0.001), CXCL8 (P=0.004), IL-1α (P<0.001), IL-2 (P<0.001), CCL4 (P=0.003), CCL5 (P<0.001) and TNFα (P=0.05). Post-hoc analysis identified IL-2 (P=0.009) and CXCL5 (P<0.001) as “separation markers” between POAG and diabetic POAG eyes. In POAG patients, the “separation markers” could highly predict the TNFα levels F(1, 16)=14.639, P<0.001, whereas in diabetic patients F(1, 24)=4.844, P=0.006 and diabetic POAG patients F(1, 19)=2.358, P=0.05 the level of prediction was inferior. CONCLUSION: Our results reveal an inflammatory model based on increased TNFα levels in POAG eyes. Simultaneous co-stimulatory molecules and additional inflammatory pathways need to be further explored in diabetic POAG cases, since the prediction model could only partially explain the increased TNFα level in this category of patients.  相似文献

AIM: To assess physical activity (PA) including its intensity in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: PA was characterized by the use of questionnaires: Seven-Day Physical Activity Recall and Historical Leisure Activity Questionnaire. A questionnaire of 36 questions, developed by the authors, was used to assess the level of knowledge about glaucoma RESULTS: The study was conducted among 625 adults. The study group comprised 312 POAG patients aged over 40y, including 238 women (76%) and 74 men (24%). The control group consisted of 313 adults (>40 years old), including 202 (65%) women and 111 men (35%). The duration of current PA with an intensity of 4 metabolic equivalents (METs) was significantly shorter among people with POAG. PA in the past was significantly lower among people from the study group, regardless of gender. The level of glaucoma knowledge in patients with POAG was poor and significantly lower in men. CONCLUSION: Regular PA is an important and underestimated factor predisposing to the progression of POAG. There is a necessity to undertake educational and preventive actions with a view to modify the health behavior of glaucoma patients.  相似文献

A 60-year-old smoker presented with high intraocular pressure in the right eye with a right afferent pupil defect and visual field suggestive of primary open angle glaucoma in the right eye only, when an examination 2 years earlier had revealed no hint of ocular pathology. Radiological investigations demonstrated prominent ectasia of the internal carotid arteries extending into the proximal middle cerebral arteries. The changes in the carotids extended throughout the cavernous sinus regions, encroached on the under surface of the optic chiasm and were closely related to the internal aspects of both optic canals. In primary open angle glaucoma management, neural imaging is not normally recommended; however, neural imaging investigations should be considered if the presentation is not typical of a chronic bilateral optic neuropathy  相似文献

Purpose

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in the elderly. Previous epidemiological studies have identified family history, ethnic origin, age, high intraocular pressure and diabetes mellitus as risk factors. However, it is difficult to assess the extent family history plays in this disease process. The Utah Population Database (UPDB), created by the University of Utah, has recently become a resource for which greater than 9 million records are available for use. The UPDB is divided into two major data sets from which family members can be identified, namely 1.6 million genealogy records and 2 million Utah birth certificates. This study utilizes these resources to assess the familial risk of POAG within the Utah Population.

Methods

The University of Utah’s hospital and clinic records were searched for patients with primary and chronic open angle glaucoma (ICD9 codes 365.04 and 365.11) between the years 1995 and 2005. A case-control analysis was then performed with specialized UPDB software that was modified to constrain the control and pedigree populations to over 1 million University of Utah-UPDB linked records. Controls were matched to cases by gender and birth year (±2.5 years) with only one control being used per case. Population-attributable risk (PAR) to familial factors and relative risk (RR) were computed using conditional logistic regression (CLR).

Results

From the original 1.5 million medical records, 6198 patients with glaucoma were identified. Of these, 3391 met the inclusion criteria, which required patients to have at least one parent or one child in the UPDB. The PAR in this population was found to be 0.20, indicating 20% of the risk for glaucoma is attributable to genetic factors. CLR computations also showed a significantly increased relative risk (p < 0.05) in first cousins (RR = 1.45 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.16-1.8)), second cousins (RR = 1.19 (95% CI 1.08-1.32)), siblings (RR = 3.76 (95% CI 2.66-5.31)), parents (RR = 6.25 (95% CI 3.94-9.9)) and children (RR = 6.77 (95% CI 3.39-13.5)).

Conclusions

Based on these familial data, there is a significantly higher prevalence of glaucoma in both first and second generation relatives of those affected as compared to relatives in the control group. When compared with other epidemiologic studies, such as an analysis of first-degree relatives of patients from the Rotterdam study, which showed a PAR of 16%, our study actually demonstrates a greater familial contribution to glaucoma. The UPDB is a valuable and unique resource providing a large population from which to analyze the familial risk of glaucoma.  相似文献

AIM: To compare the effect of phacoemulsification on intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG). METHODS: A retrospective comparative case series conducted at the Glaucoma Department at the Association to Prevent Blindness in Mexico. The study enrolled consecutive patients having phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and a diagnosis of POAG or PXG. Data about IOP values and number of glaucoma medications used was collected at baseline, 1, 3, 6 and 12mo postoperatively. RESULTS: The study enrolled 88 patients (88 eyes). After phacoemulsification, there was a statistically significant reduction in IOP values and glaucoma medications use compared to baseline in both POAG and PXG patients (P<0.001). In the POAG group, a 20% decrease in IOP values was evidenced, and a 56.5% reduction in the number of medications used at the one-year follow-up. The PXG group showed a 20.39%, and a 34.46% decrease in IOP and number of medications used, respectively. A significant difference in the mean ΔIOP (postoperative changes in IOP) was evidenced between groups (P=0.005). The reduction of the postsurgical IOP mean values in both groups, the POAG group showed a greater reduction in IOP values compared to the PXG group. CONCLUSION: In both types of glaucoma, phacoemulsification cataract surgery can result in a significant IOP reduction (20%) over a 12mo follow-up period. The number of medications used is also significantly reduced up to 12mo after surgery, especially in the PXG group.  相似文献

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is the second most common cause of blindness in developed countries. It is an optic neuropathy in which a degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells causes a characteristic excavation in the optic disc. Several loci have been identified to be responsible for different types of glaucoma, including the MYOC gene located on chromosome 1. In this work, six mutations have been identified in the third exon of the MYOC gene in patients with POAG. We studied 79 Galician patients with chronic POAG glaucoma and 90 control individuals from the same general population. We identified six mutations, including three novel ones. Two of the six mutations were considered to be polymorphisms, while the other four met the criteria for pathogenicity in this disease as they altered the amino acid sequence and were found in one or more patients with glaucoma and in less of 1% of the control population. These mutations were detected in eight patients suffering from POAG (7.5%) and in two people from the control population (2.2%). POAG can be due to mutations in the myocilin gene (MYOC) on chromosome 1. The glaucoma phenotype associated with this gene may vary from a juvenile severe form to a late-onset chronic open angle glaucoma.  相似文献

AIM: To compare the efficacy of single-session 360-degree selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) for reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXFG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS: This is a single-center, prospective, nonrandomized comparative study. Patients older than 18 years of age with uncontrolled PXFG or POAG eyes requiring additional therapy while on maximally tolerated IOP-lowering medications were included. The primary outcome measure changed in IOP from baseline. Success was defined as IOP reduction ≥20% from baseline without any additional IOP-lowering medication. All patients were examined at 1d, 1wk, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12mo after SLT. RESULTS: Nineteen patients (20 eyes) with PXFG and 27 patients (28 eyes) with POAG were included in the study. In the visual fields mean deviation was -2.88 (±1.67) in the POAG and -3.1 (±1.69) in the PXFG groups (P=0.3). The mean (±SD) IOP was 22.9 (±3.7) mm Hg in the POAG group and 25.7 (±4.4)?mm Hg in the PXFG group at baseline and decreased to 18.4 (±3.2) and 18.0 (±3.9) mm Hg in the POAG group (P<0.001 and P=0.02), and to 17.9 (±4.0) and 21.0 (±6.6) mm Hg in the PXFG group (P<0.001 and P=0.47) at 6 and 12mo, respectively. The number of medications was 2.6 (±0.8) in the POAG group and 2.5 (±0.8) in the PXFG group at baseline, and did not change at all follow-up visits in both groups (P=0.16 in POAG and 0.57 in PXFG). Based on Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the success rate was 75% in the POAG group compared to 94.1% in the PXFG group (P=0.08; log rank test) at 6mo, and 29.1% and 25.0% at 12mo, respectively (P=0.9; log rank). CONCLUSION: The 360-degree SLT is an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic modality in patients with POAG and PXFG by reducing IOP without any change in number of medications. The response was more pronounced early in the postoperative period in patients with PXFG whereas there was no statistically significant difference at 12-month follow-up.  相似文献

Background : A significant proportion of patients diagnosed under the broad classification of open angle glaucoma actually has normal tension glaucoma (NTG). It has many clinical features that overlap with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), yet there is a question of whether it has a different aetiology in which intraocular pressure plays less of a role. Methods : The epidemiology and clinical features of normal tension glaucoma are reviewed with particular reference to possible differences from primary open angle glaucoma, which might permit differentiation. The pathophysiology is discussed, outlining recent research in cell death (apoptosis), axonal damage and neuroprotection. Discussion and Conclusion : There is considerable evidence that NTG develops with little contribution from the effect of intraocular pressure. However, the clinical diagnosis of NTG is often one of exclusion and the differentiation of NTG from POAG remains difficult because many clinical signs are suggestive but not definitive of NTG. More accurate diagnosis may be possible when individual patients exhibit a greater number of signs. Some evidence suggests that NTG with relatively high pressures (greater than 15 mmHg) is more likely to progress than NTG with relatively low pressures. Clinicians must be particularly alert to the possibility of NTG because IOP, a clinical marker for some glaucomas, is absent.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of estrogen receptor genes (ESR1: rs12154178, rs1884054 and ESR2: rs1268656, rs7159462) and to assess their possible influence on the clinical phenotype of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: The study included 235 patients with POAG (143 patients with normal-tension glaucoma [NTG] and 92 patients with high-tension glaucoma [HTG]), and 165 healthy controls. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood, and SNP genotyping was performed using the Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction method to analyze the frequency of selected polymorphic variants of estrogen receptor genes. The clinical phenotype (best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure [IOP], mean deviation [MD], cup to disc ratio, disc hemorrhages, notches, peripapillary atrophy, cold extremities) of participants were examined for association with the polymorphisms.

Results: A similar frequency of the polymorphic variants of the studied genes was observed in patients with NTG, HTG and control group. Initial intraocular pressure was the lowest in NTG patients with GG variant of rs1268656 (p = 0.044). The lowest maximal IOP in HTG patients was observed in CC variant of rs12154178 (p = 0.039). Patients with HTG and CC variant of ESR1 polymorphism rs1884054 had the best visual acuity (p = 0.009), similar tendency was also observed in the NTG group. This polymorphic variant of ESR1 gene in HTG was also related to earlier damage in visual field assessed according to MD values and higher percentage of notches. For rs12154178, homozygotic variant CC was related to earlier glaucoma damage according to MD in HTG patients (p = 0.006). For polymorphism rs12154178, disc hemorrhages were found only for those with the AC variant. Cold extremities were most frequent in NTG patients with TT variant of rs1268656 comparing to other variants (p = 0.021). Notches on optic disc were less frequent in patients with CC variant of rs12154178 of ERS-1 gene (p = 0.022).

Conclusions: The studied polymorphic variants of ESR1 and ESR2 genes may have an influence on the clinical phenotype of patients with POAG.  相似文献
