The CC genotype was linked to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). In human scleral fibroblasts, overexpression of GPR97 Arg396 resulted in upregulation of IOP-related genes serine\/arginine-rich splicing factor 3, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase 4, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase 5, and nuclear receptor subfamily 3 group C member 1. The GPR97 Arg396 mutation inhibited the glucocorticoid-GPR97 axis and reduced cell migration ability. Clinically, CC genotype carriers exhibited significant improvements in axial length, spherical equivalent, IOP, best-corrected visual acuity, and visual field mean sensitivity with glucocorticoid treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion and implications:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study revealed that the GPR97 rs76688596 G &gt; C variant is associated with PM pathogenesis, influencing gene expression related to IOP.
