In 2010, the Writing Committee for the NTG Genetic Study Group of the Japan Glaucoma Society identified SNPs of SRBD1 (OR 2.80, p = 2.5 × 10−9) and ELOVL5 (OR 1.69, p = 4.1 × 10−6) as being associated with NTG in a cohort of 305 Japanese NTG patients and 355 controls. This evidence concerns the gene SRBD1 and glaucoma.
