MYOC
Unclassified Loci · Unclassified Protein-Coding Locus
Why might MYOC be relevant when eye pressure is being evaluated?
MYOC makes myocilin, a protein found in eye structures involved in pressure regulation. Certain pathogenic variants matter in glaucoma evaluation, but a genetic finding does not replace measuring pressure and examining the eye.
- Common Gene Name
- myocilin
- NCBI Gene ID
- 4653
