Figure 7From: Susceptibility to glaucoma: differential comparison of the astrocyte transcriptome from glaucomatous African American and Caucasian American donorsGlaucoma disease-associated genes differentially regulated in glaucomatous OHN astrocytes. Differential expression of six glaucoma disease associated genes (BMP1, AMIGO2, DMPK, SLIT2, RBP-1 and CASK) was validated by qRT-PCR in human ONH astrocytes. Genes were normalized to 18S. Graphical representation of the relative mRNA levels in normal and glaucomatous AA and normal and glaucomatous CA astrocytes (n = 6, two-tailed t-test). Asterisk indicates p < 0.05).Back to article page
