ABSTRACT

Glaucoma is the irreversible vision loss and contributes second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) is involved with remodeling and destruction of extracellular matrix. Elevated MMP‐9 levels and various functional variants of MMP‐9 have been associated with glaucoma in different population. In the current investigation, we tested association of MMP‐9 common variants with different clinical categories of glaucoma in Chinese population.
