In contrast, there were no genotypic differences between pigmentary glaucoma cases, normal tension glaucoma cases and controls. However, an association between rs1048661 genotype and age at disease onset was suggested for pigmentary glaucoma patients.CONCLUSIONS: Our study reveals that in the German population the LOXL1 genetic predisposition is limited to exfoliation glaucoma and does not include normal tension glaucoma. In addition, our study implicates that LOXL1 polymorphisms are not likely to have a major influence on the pathophysiology of pigmentary glaucoma. However, 1 nonsynonymous polymorphism may serve as a predictor of age at disease onset in pigmentary glaucoma.",
