A missense mutation in Pitx2 leads to early-onset glaucoma via NRF2-YAP1 axis
Abstract Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting 70 million people worldwide. Owing to the similarity in anatomy and physiology between human and mouse eyes and the ability to genetically manipulate mice, mouse models are an invaluable resource for studying mechanisms underlying disease...
