About this study

Official title: Investigation of Genetic Disease Marker Associated With Korean Glaucoma Patients Patients, A Single-nucleotide Polymorphism(SNP)Analysis for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma

A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis of DNA obtained from peripheral blood of the glaucoma patients and the normal control will be performed to find genetic marker for primary open angle glaucoma.

Read the detailed description

Unrelated Korean subjects who have primary open angle glaucoma were recruited in the current study. Genotyping for various SNP associated with POAG due to the linkage disequilibrium patterns is to be performed. Genotypes would be statistically compared between patients with primary open angle glaucoma and normal control subjects free of any eye diseases.

Being tested
SNP analysis of the DNA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Single-nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) for Glaucoma, run by Chungnam National University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

genotyping for the SNP associated with primary open angle glaucoma (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2009.
