In a retrospective and exploratory case-control study, we examined the genetic association of two common polymorphisms in the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of DICER1 (rs3742330) and DROSHA (rs10719) genes in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), and its related clinical phenotypes in a Saudi cohort. This evidence concerns the gene DICER1 and open-angle glaucoma.
