Five out of 30 families with PCG (16.7%) had disease attributable to CYP1B1 alterations suggesting that CYP1B1 is not the major gene causing PCG in Vietnamese unlike in the case of Arab or Romany patients. This percentage is similar to that detected in studies of Japanese and Chinese patients with sporadic PCG. PCG has proven to be an ocular disease of genetic heterogeneity, calling for further studies to identify novel genes causing this disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
