项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Exfoliation syndrome (ES) is a common condition characterized by deposition of a heterogeneous mix of macromolecules throughout the anterior segment of the eye. The factors that cause this material to accumulate in ES remain unknown. ES is a public health problem, because it is a risk factor for high-tension open-angle glaucoma, pre-mature cataract formation, and increased risk of complications during cataract surgery. Previous studies suggest that exfoliation syndrome and the related glaucoma are genetically complex, and one gene, LOXL1, has been identified as a major genetic risk factor. LOXL1 gene variants are found in up to 98% of affected patients; however, these same variants are also present in up to 80% of unaffected individuals, indicating that additional genetic and/or environmental factors are necessary for disease development. Further evidence that LOXL1 is necessary but not sufficient for the disease comes from our preliminary studies of the LOXL1 null mouse that identified some, but not all the phenotypic features of the condition. To identify additional genetic and environmental factors contributing to exfoliation syndrome and exfoliation glaucoma, we have formed a collaborative consortium contributing over 2300 exfoliation cases and 2300 controls. Whole genome genotyping has already been completed in 650 cases and 2250 controls, and over 1000 cases have detailed environmental exposures. We will perform a single stage GWAS to identify additional genetic markers associated with exfoliation syndrome, and will also investigate associations between ES and environmental exposures including factors that influence homocysteine levels the effect of residence in northern latitude. Newly discovered genetic and environmental risk factors will be analyzed for gene- environment and gene-gene interactions.

描述（由申请人提供）：剥脱综合征（ES）是一种常见疾病，其特征是大分子的异质混合物沉积在整个眼前段。导致这种物质在ES中积累的因素仍然未知。ES是一个公共卫生问题，因为它是高眼压开角型青光眼、过早形成白内障和增加白内障手术并发症风险的危险因素。先前的研究表明，剥脱综合征和相关的青光眼在遗传上是复杂的，其中一个基因LOXL 1已被确定为主要的遗传风险因素。LOXL 1基因变异存在于高达98%的受影响患者中;然而，这些相同的变异也存在于高达80%的未受影响的个体中，这表明其他遗传和/或环境因素对疾病的发展是必要的。进一步的证据表明，LOXL 1是必要的，但不足以为疾病来自我们的初步研究的LOXL 1无效的小鼠，确定了一些，但不是所有的表型特征的条件。为了确定导致剥脱综合征和剥脱性青光眼的其他遗传和环境因素，我们组成了一个合作联盟，提供了2300多例剥脱性病例和2300例对照。全基因组基因分型已经在650例和2250例对照中完成，超过1000例病例有详细的环境暴露。我们将进行单阶段GWAS，以确定与剥脱综合征相关的其他遗传标记，并将调查ES和环境暴露之间的关系，包括影响同型半胱氨酸水平的因素，居住在北方纬度的影响。新发现的遗传和环境风险因素将分析基因-环境和基因-基因相互作用。
