Gene expression levels in human ocular tissues.

The two genes are ranked by increasing expression, calculated by the mean percentiles (SD) of the expression levels. Gene expression of CB-PE and CB-NPE (n = 4), choroid (n = 3), photoreceptors (n = 3) and RPE (n = 6) were performed on Agilent Human 44k microarray of post-mortem donor eyes without glaucoma or any other ocular diseases.*Data from Liton et al., performed on Affymetrix Human U133 microarray, showing mean percentiles (SD) of human gene expression levels in TM tissue from 3 healthy eyes [28].CB-PE = ciliary body, pigmented epithelium; CB-NPE = ciliary body, non-pigmented epithelium; RPE = retinal pigment epithelium; TM = trabecular meshwork.
