Abstract
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), a major cause of blindness worldwide, is a complex disease with a significant genetic
contribution.We performed Exome Array (Illumina) analysis on 3504 POAG cases and 9746 controls with replication of the most
significant findings in 9173 POAG cases and 26 780 controls across 18 collections of Asian, African and European descent. Apart
from confirming strong evidence of association at CDKN2B-AS1 (rs2157719 [G], odds ratio [OR] = 0.71, P = 2.81 × 10−33), we
observed one SNP showing significant association to POAG (CDC7–TGFBR3 rs1192415, ORG-allele = 1.13, Pmeta = 1.60 × 10−8). This
particular SNP has previously been shown to be strongly associated with optic disc area and vertical cup-to-disc ratio, which are
regarded as glaucoma-related quantitative traits. Our study now extends this by directly implicating it in POAG disease
pathogenesis.
