We conducted the first genome-wide association meta-analyses of global and sectoral peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) thickness and Bruchs membrane opening-minimum rim width (BMO-MRW), the major optic nerve head structural and neurodegeneration biomarkers, including up to 25,942 and 12,080 participants, respectively, from the International Glaucoma Genetics Consortium. We identified 9 global pRNFL thickness and 9 global BMO-MRW loci, along with 28 and 19 loci for pRNFL and BMO-MRW ...
