Li S-H; He X-GInternational Journal of Ophthalmology 2008; 8: 102-105
Rezaie et al reported that the mutation of OPTN gene may be involved in the normal tension subtype of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and deduced that OPTN gene may play a protective role in the process of optic nerve lesion.
