Since its identification in a large Oregon family with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), ASB10 variants have been associated with disease in US, German and Pakistani cohorts.
We identified a synonymous variant, c.765C>T (Thr255Thr), in ankyrin repeats and suppressor of cytokine signaling box-containing protein 10 (ASB10) in a large family with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) mapping to the GLC1F locus.
The aim of the present study was to examine the genetic background of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in the Finnish population by analyzing previously reported candidate loci GLC1B on 2cen-q13, GLCIC on 3q21-q24, GLC1D on 8q23, GLC1F on 7q35-q36, as well as other candidate regions on chromosomes 2p14, 2q33-34, 10p12-13, 14q11, 14q21-22, 17p13, 17q25, and 19q12-14.
