No. 12/712,323 filed Feb. 25, 2010 (now abandoned), which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/313,210 filed Dec. 19, 2005 (now abandoned), which claims the benefit of co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/638,706 filed Dec. 23, 2004, the text of which is specifically incorporated by reference herein.The present invention relates to the field of interfering RNA compositions for inhibition of expression of serum amyloid A (SAA) in glaucoma, particularly for primary open angle glaucoma.Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of optic neuropathies that share certain clinical features. The loss of vision in glaucoma is due to the selective death of retinal ganglion cells in the neural retina that is clinically diagnosed by characteristic changes in the visual field, nerve fiber layer defects, and a progressive cupping of the optic nerve head (ONH). One of the main risk factors for the development of glaucoma is the presence of ocular hypertension (elevated intraocular pressure, IOP). An adequate intraocular pressure is needed to maintain the shape of the eye and to provide a pressure gradient to allow for the flow of aqueous humor to the avascular cornea and lens. IOP also appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of normal tension glaucoma where patients have what is often considered to be normal IOP.The elevated IOP associated with glaucoma is due to elevated aqueous humor outflow resistance in the ...

The loss of vision in glaucoma is due to the selective death of retinal ganglion cells in the neural retina that is clinically diagnosed by characteristic changes in the visual field, nerve fiber layer defects, and a progressive cupping of the optic nerve head (ONH). One of the main risk factors for the development of glaucoma is the presence of ocular hypertension (elevated intraocular pressure, IOP). An adequate intraocular pressure is needed to maintain the shape of the eye and to provide a pressure gradient to allow for the flow of aqueous humor to the avascular cornea and lens. IOP also appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of normal tension glaucoma where patients have what is often considered to be normal ...
