Angiopoietin-like protein 7 (ANGPTL7)-mediated effects on resident immune cells contribute to neurodegeneration in glaucomatous optic nerve head
Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by progressive retinal degeneration. Population genetic analyses describe an association of variants in angiopoietin-like protein 7 (ANGPTL7) with lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and decreased glaucoma susceptibility. In addition to its reported role in the trabecular mesh...
