OBJECTIVE: To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of PLEKHA7, COL11A1 and PCMTD1-ST18 genes and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) among ethnic Han Chinese from Sichuan Province. METHODS: In this study, 362 subjects with PACG and 1056 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited. Genotypes of 3 reported SNPs, including PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 were determined with a SNaPshot method. RESULTS: The P values for the genotype frequencies of rs11024102, rs3753841 and rs1015213 between the patient and control groups were 0.62 (OR=1.09, 95%CI: 0.91-1.30), 0.42 (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.87-1.41) and 0.34 (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 0.73-2.49), respectively. And the P values for the allele frequency distributions of PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 between the two groups were 0.347, 0.698 and 0.344, respectively. CONCLUSION: No significant association of PLEKHA7 rs11024102, COL11A1 rs3753841 and PCMTD1-ST18 rs1015213 with PACG was found among ethnic Han Chinese from Sichuan.
