TABLE 2.

Shared genes between AD and glaucoma.

Gene name abbreviation Full gene name Function of gene
AGBL2 AGBL carboxypeptidase 2 Catalyzes the deglutamylation of polyglutamate side chains generated by post-translational polyglutamylation in proteins
CELF1 CUGBP Elav-like family member 1 Pre-mRNA alternative splicing, mRNA translation and stability
FAM180B Family with sequence similarity 180 member B Enables protein binding
MTCH2 Mitochondrial carrier 2 Induces mitochondrial depolarization
MYBPC3 Myosin binding protein C3 Modifies the activity of actin-activated myosin ATPase.
NDUFS3 NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S3 Core subunit of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I)
PSMC3 Proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 3 Maintenance of protein homeostasis by removing misfolded or damaged proteins
PTPMT1 Protein tyrosine phosphatase mitochondrial 1 Prevent intrinsic apoptosis, probably by regulating mitochondrial membrane integrity
RAPSN Receptor associated protein of the synapse Postsynaptic protein required for clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) at the neuromuscular junction
SLC39A13 Solute carrier family 39 member 13 Transmembrane protein functions as a zinc transporter
SPI1 Spi-1 proto-oncogene Transcriptional activator that may be specifically involved in the differentiation or activation of macrophages or B-cells

Eleven genes mapped by 49 shared pleiotropic loci are considered as the shared genes between AD and glaucoma.
