Disease relevance of GLC1C

 

High impact information on GLC1C

  • This is the first report of mapping of an adult-onset POAG gene to chromosome 3q, gene symbol GLC1C [2].
  • Individuals carrying both the MYOC T377M variant and the GLC1C haplotype were more severely affected at an earlier age than individuals with just one of the POAG genes, suggesting that these two genes interact or that both contribute to the POAG phenotype in a cumulative way [3].
  • This represents the second POAG family linked to the GLC1C locus on chromosome 3q, and haplotype analysis in the two families suggests an independent origin of the genetic defect [4].
  • Based upon its homology with collagen-binding proteins, its expression in the trabecular meshwork, and its chromosome location, PCOLCE2 is a candidate gene for GLC1C [5].
  • METHODS: This Affymetrix GeneChip (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, Calif) study of gene expression in primary culture human trabecular meshwork cells uses a positional differential expression profile model for prioritization of candidate genes within the GLC1C genetic inclusion interval [6].
