Analysis of genetically determined gene expression suggests role of inflammatory processes in exfoliation syndrome
Abstract Background Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related systemic disorder characterized by excessive production and progressive accumulation of abnormal extracellular material, with pathognomonic ocular manifestations. It is the most common cause of secondary glaucoma, resulting in widespre...
