Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis of intraocular pressure (IOP) in 6,236 European ancestry subjects from three cohorts (NEIGHBOR, GLAUGEN, AMD-MMAP MI). Meta-analysis identified a significant association at TMCO1 (rs7518099-G, beta = 0.76 mmHg/allele, p = 8.0 × 10−8). The study replicated previously reported associations at TMCO1, CDKN2B-AS1, GAS7, CAV1/CAV2, and SIX1/SIX6 loci with consistent effect sizes and directions. Results show gender-specific effects and age-dependent trends for IOP association with common variants.
About RBFOX1
The Fox-1 family of RNA-binding proteins is evolutionarily conserved, and regulates tissue-specific alternative splicing in metazoa. Fox-1 recognizes a (U)GCAUG stretch in regulated exons or in flanking introns. The protein binds to the C-terminus of ataxin-2 and may contribute to the restricted pathology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). Ataxin-2 is the product of the SCA2 gene which causes familial neurodegenerative diseases. Fox-1 and ataxin-2 are both localized in the trans-Golgi network. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
