disease:Defects in WDR36 are the cause of primary open angle glaucoma type 1G (GLC1G) [MIM:609887]. Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by a specific pattern of optic nerve and visual field defects. The angle of the anterior chamber of the eye is open, and usually the intraocular pressure is increased. The disease is asymptomatic until the late stages, by which time significant and irreversible optic nerve damage has already taken place.,function:Involved in T cell activation and highly co-regulated with IL2.,similarity:Contains 9 WD repeats.,tissue specificity:Expressed in heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. In ocular tissues, strong expression in iris, sclera, ciliary muscle, ciliary body, retina and optic nerve.,
