Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The myocilin gene is the first glaucoma gene to be associated with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The hereditary subset of POAG and the role of the myocilin gene in our population are not clearly defined. Identification of cases of hereditary glaucoma and a better appreciation of the role of the myocilin gene may allow earlier diagnosis of the disease and optimize management of those at risk for...
