By integrating epidemiologic, proteomic, genetic, and metabolomic data, we identify convergent systemic protein and metabolic signatures associated with glaucoma susceptibility and its clinical subtypes. These findings nominate NRP2, SMAD1, and related pathways as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets and support a systems‑level view of glaucoma pathogenesis beyond intraocular pressure alone.
