The aqueous humor proteome of primary open angle glaucoma: An extensive review

AH proteome of POAG patients shows strong activation of the immune system. In addition, analysis suggests dysregulation of folate metabolism and dysregulation of selenium as underlying contributors. In view of their glaucoma surgery, POAG patients of subgroup 1 most likely are progressive whereas POAG patients in subgroup 2 most likely have stable POAG. The proteome difference between these subgroups suggests that the complement system plays a role in POAG progression.
