DNM3, a member of the larger family of dynamin motor proteins, has been found to play a functional role in the development of megakaryocyte cells (Wang, Gilligan, Sun, Wu, & Reems, 2011) and it is hypothesized that hematopoietic cells such as megakaryocytes are involved in the vascular events leading to POAG (Knepper & Samples, 2016). This evidence concerns the gene DNM3 and open-angle glaucoma.
