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 PDE7B
The 3',5'-cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP function as second messengers in a wide variety of signal transduction pathways. 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) catalyze the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP to the corresponding 5'-monophosphates and provide a mechanism to downregulate cAMP and cGMP signaling. This gene encodes a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]
