Abstract
A glucocorticoid-induced protein, TIGR, that is produced by cells of the trabecular meshwork can be used to diagnose glaucoma. The TIGR protein, anti-TIGR antibodies, and TIGR encoding sequences also provide a diagnostic for glaucoma and its related diseases.
Claims6
A substantially purified human Trabecular Meshwork Induced Glucocorticoid Response (TIGR) nucleic acid molecule which comprises an oligonucleotide fragment between about 15 to about 250 nucleotides of the sequence of SEQ ID NO:3.
