Relación entre el Glaucoma Primario de Ángulo Abierto y el gen MYOC, revisión sistemática

Abstract

Glaucoma, because it is a progressive, silent and hereditary optic neuropath; that over time it has positioned itself as the second leading cause of blindness not irreversible at the global level, for this reason it has begun studying possible causes and risk factors involved in the development and acquisition this pathology, which the results that have been obtained is the relationship between POAG and the genetic factor, where most studies have identified as one of the main causes of developing POAG mutation MYOC gene (myocilin), but over time have been different empty since investigations have been few, is this I have decided to study the STATE OF THE ART OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRIMARY Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) AND GEN MYOC, aiming to determine the relationship between MYOC gene polymorphism and development of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) in articles published between 2000 and 2016. This study is a systematic review of the literature, where the populations were articles that were presented at the bases. The data sampling was done for convenience and the sample was 100% of the articles on the relationship between POAG and gene MYOC they met checklists.
