Human genes for phacogenic glaucoma

Phacogenic glaucoma [DOID:12571]

A glaucoma characterized by glaucomatous optic atrophy secondary to a lens abnormality and has_symptom progressive decreased vision, especially decreased peripheral vision. Phacogenic glaucoma can be caused by cataracts, trauma to the eye, or age-related damage that obstructs aqueous outflow, leading to inappropriately increased intraocular pressure and eventual optic nerve atrophy with associated vision loss.

The disease-gene associations are derived from automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, manually curated database annotations, cancer mutation data, and genome-wide association studies. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest.
