Out of the 85 patients, three JOAG individuals exhibited possible pathogenic variants. A novel missense variant p.(Q518L) was also observed and registered at NCBI with accession number PP898303. Computational algorithms identified three potential pathogenic variants. These variants induce disruptions and structural alterations which in turn compromise their functionality. This ultimately leads to retinal ganglion cells death and the eventual manifestation of glaucomatous damage resulting in vision loss.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This is the first report showing the involvement of pathogenic\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">OPTN<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene variants in JOAG cases from North Indian population which was unknown till now.
