Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Purpose: Factors contributing to the development of normal tension glaucoma (NTG), degenerative optic neuropathy characterized by the progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells, optic nerve axons, and visual fields, have not been determined. To identify genetic risk factors for NTG, we performed a genome-wide association study of NTG.
