Association of body mass index and PXDNL gene variants with acute primary angle closure in southern Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to evaluate the association of body mass index (BMI) and the weight-related gene, peroxidasin-like (PXDNL), with acute primary angle closure (APAC) and primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) in southern Chinese population. Total 4700 study subjects (1024 APAC, 781 PACG, and 2895 control subjects) with complete ophthalmic examinations were enrolled into this study. The association of BMI with APAC, PACG and ocular biometric parameters was evaluated. Three PXDNL missense variants were genotyped by TaqMan assay, and their association with APAC and PACG was also investigated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that BMI and body weight were significantly associated with both APAC and PACG (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that each 1 kg/m² increased in BMI was associated with 0.038 mm increase in axial length, 0.018 mm increase in central anterior chamber depth, 0.002 mm increase in lens position, 0.012 mm increase in corneal diameter and 0.014 mm decrease in lens thickness among the APAC subjects (P < 0.001), but not with PACG. Genetic association analysis identified that PXDNL rs11985241-rs16916207 CT haplotype conferred a higher risk to APAC (OR = 1.25, P = 0.004) than the TG haplotype, but not with PACG. The APAC subjects carrying the rs11985241 C or rs16916207 T alleles showed significantly lower weight than those carrying the corresponding protective alleles. In summary, this study revealed that lower BMI could be associated with higher risk of APAC. PXDNL could be a new associated gene for APAC.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine longitudinal changes in angle configuration in the eyes of primary angle-closure suspects (PACS) treated by laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) and in untreated fellow eyes.DesignLongitudinal cohort study.ParticipantsPrimary angle-closure suspects aged 50 to 70 years were enrolled in a randomized, controlled clinical trial.MethodsEach participant was treated by LPI in 1 randomly selected eye, with the fellow eye serving as a control. Angle width was assessed in a masked fashion using gonioscopy and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before and at 2 weeks, 6 months, and 18 months after LPI.Main outcome measuresAngle width in degrees was calculated from Shaffer grades assessed under static gonioscopy. Angle configuration was also evaluated using angle opening distance (AOD250, AOD500, AOD750), trabecular-iris space area (TISA500, TISA750), and angle recess area (ARA) measured in AS-OCT images.ResultsNo significant difference was found in baseline measures of angle configuration between treated and untreated eyes. At 2 weeks after LPI, the drainage angle on gonioscopy widened from a mean of 13.5° at baseline to a mean of 25.7° in treated eyes, which was also confirmed by significant increases in all AS-OCT angle width measures (P<0.001 for all variables). Between 2 weeks and 18 months after LPI, a significant decrease in angle width was observed over time in treated eyes (P<0.001 for all variables), although the change over the first 5.5 months was not statistically significant for angle width measured under gonioscopy (P = 0.18), AOD250 (P = 0.167) and ARA (P = 0.83). In untreated eyes, angle width consistently decreased across all follow-up visits after LPI, with a more rapid longitudinal decrease compared with treated eyes (P values for all variables ≤0.003). The annual rate of change in angle width was equivalent to 1.2°/year (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.8-1.6) in treated eyes and 1.6°/year (95% CI, 1.3-2.0) in untreated eyes (P<0.001).ConclusionsAngle width of treated eyes increased markedly after LPI, remained stable for 6 months, and then decreased significantly by 18 months after LPI. Untreated eyes experienced a more consistent and rapid decrease in angle width over the same time period.
