There were eight genes that were upregulated (i.e., AFAP1, COL4A1, CPXM1, ETS1, PRKAG2, PTPN1, SH2B3, and TES), and nine that were downregulated (i.e., ANGPTL2, ANTXR1, HHEX, LTBP2, MAFB, ME3, NR1H3, PCSK5, and PRSS23) in POAG-affected SC cells (Table 2). This evidence concerns the gene HHEX and open-angle glaucoma.
