In addition, we compared a newly identified index calculated as the ratio of neutrophil counts over serum ALB levels (NAR) between glaucoma patients and control participants and found glaucoma patients had a remarkably higher NAR (0.092, 0.075 0.116) than the control group (0.076, 0.060 0.094, p < 0.0001) (Table 1). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is glaucoma.
