The two most common causes of irreversible blindness are Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and glaucoma. The incidence or risk of both diseases is linked to race and pigmentation, but in opposite ways. Those with darker pigmentation appear protected from AMD, but are at significantly greater risk of glaucoma.
McKay BS, Schwartz SG. Pigmentation and Macular Degeneration: Is There a Role for GPR143? J Ocul Pharmacol Ther. 32: 3–4. doi:10.1089/jop.2016.29007.bsm The McKay Lab specifically investigated one of the pigmentation genes what was a potential orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). We discovered that the ligand for this receptor (GPR143) is L-DO...
Locke CJ, Congrove NR, Dismuke WM, Bowen TJ, Stamer WD, McKay BS. Controlled exosome release from the retinal pigment epithelium in situ. Exp Eye Res. The first gene linked to genetic primary open angle glaucoma, POAG, the most common form of the disease, was myocilin. The myocilin gene and protein are expressed throughout the body, but mutations o...
