LOXL1 and exfoliation syndrome: Recently, a genome-wide association study in the Icelandic and Swedish population demonstrated a significant association of one intronic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP, rs2165241) and two exonic SNPs (rs1048661 [R141L] and rs3825942 [G153D]), which are located in the first exon of the lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) gene on chromosomal region 15q24.1, with XFS and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) [18].
