Genetic association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in PLEKHA7 gene with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) in a Central-Eastern Punjab cohort of Pakistan.
Article in Molecular biology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrimary Angle Closure Glaucoma (PACG) is a potentially devastating disease that causes optic nerve injury globally.
methodsThe enrollment of patients with PACG and healthy controls came from ophthalmology health centers in different hospitals in Punjab (n = 96 cases and n = 102 controls). PLEKHA7 rs216489 and rs11024102 alleles were genotyped by Tetra ARMS PCR. Binary Logistic Regression was applied to discover the relationship amid risk alleles with PLEKHA7. Genetic models were used to identify the risk of links among a specific inheritance pattern's genotype and phenotype. In silico analysis was performed to analyze the functional consequences and regulatory elements of both these polymorphisms.
resultsThis study investigated that the patients affected with PACG have IOP and C/D ratio (17.43 ± 9.40 and 0.565 ± 0.5994 respectively) along with other clinical characteristics than healthy controls. The genotype distribution for PLEKHA7 rs216489 revealed no association with PACG. In contrast, in SNP rs11024102, the frequency of genotype AA is noticeably higher in PACG patients compared to controls. For genetic models, the dominant model of rs11024102 (P < 0.02) (OR = 2.335, 95% CI = 1.135-4.804) was discovered to be strongly associated to rise the pathogenicity of PACG. In silico examination predicted that both of the SNPs of the PLEKHA7 gene are causing benign mutations in nature and are less and more likely to be predicted as regulatory variants.
conclusionThis is the first study on PACG genotypes from Pakistan, and results suggest that PLEKHA7 (rs11024102) polymorphism is significantly associated with susceptibility to PACG in Punjab, Pakistan.
