摘要 |
According the present invention, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) in the tears or blood is used as a biomarker for early detection and assessing the progression of POAG. A reduced level of BDNF compared to normal range can be the sign of POAG. Lower levels of BDNF represent more advanced cases of POAG. The invention includes both the method and the analytic kit for performing the method.
