Network Integration Analysis and Immune Infiltration Analysis Reveal Potential Biomarkers for Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a progressive optic neuropathy and its damage to vision is irreversible. Therefore, early diagnosis assisted by biomarkers is essential. Although there were multiple researches on the identification of POAG biomarkers, few studies systematically revealed the tra...
