Abbreviations: Chr, chromosome; GLAUGEN, the Glaucoma Genes and Environment study; LD, linkage disequilibrium; NEIGHBOR, National Eye Institute Glaucoma Human Genetics Collaboration; POAG, primary open-angle glaucoma; SNP, single-nucleotide polymorphism.

a

Simple features refer to single SNPs not in any LD block; complex features refer to LD blocks with two or more SNPs.

b

P-values are permuted P-values.

c

Genes for proteins that interact with endothelial nitric oxide synthase; see Figure 2.
