It has been shown that mutations in the optineurin (OPTN) gene are involved in the etiology of adult-onset primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). In view of close similarities between human and nonhuman primate ocular development and function, the rhesus monkey is considered a suitable model for human visual system research. Therefore, this study was conducted to clone the orthologue of the human OPTN gene in the rhesus monkey (Rh-OPTN) and to determine its genomic organization. A further purpose was to establish Rh-OPTN protein expression profiles and tissue distribution in the rhesus anterior segment, retina, and optic nerve.
